Hillary said that if she wins, she would like to work with Bernie in the future, and it looked like she had a grin when she was asked about Bernie as his VP.
Well, let's face it, VP spot is often chosen to pander to a group (geographical, racial, gender, etc.). Other times, VP adds perceived expertise that the Presidential candidate lacks (e.g., Biden adding foreign relations expertise and comic relief).
Bernie would be more of a pandering situation, but he has a loyal and ardent following so maybe. He doesn't provide any geographical diversity unless we say Hillary is from AR. Elizabeth Warren would be great, but I don't know if the country is ready for 2 females on a ticket.

Hillary is not from Arkansas. She lived there for several years and was not liked. Then she moved to the White House and then became a New Yorker giving Arkansans another reason to dislike her. She won the Democratic primary, but I don't think she could win the actual state during the presidential election.

I'm not sure how interested Elizabeth Warren would be in running with Hillary. She hasn't endorsed her yet.
I wish Elizabeth Warren had run. I could have gotten behind her candidacy. I'm not a fan of Hillary. They're different.
I doubt Sanders would be VP, it would make more sense for him to hold onto his Senate seat and try to push for a social democracy with Warren. Granted, Hillary has to actually beat Sanders first, and there is still a lot of delegates to go.

Right, she is, and always will be, a rich girl from the wealthy Chicago suburbs. Same as i will always be a small town Georgia girl, no mater what I accomplish on top of this, We are who we are.

I agree ...and it seemed that Bernie made it pretty clear today that he didn't want to be VP.
Is it still a given that Sanders would pick Warren as a running mate? I think such a ticket would make a lot of sense.

It would make more sense for Bernie to pick a moderate from either a swing state or a more conservative state rather than have two New England Senators on a ticket.
A Governor or former governor would probably be the best idea for a VP pick.
