Bernie Sanders As Clinton’s Vice President? ‘Never Hillary’ Fans Remain Firm
Will Bernie Sanders be the next vice president of the United States on the same ticket as Hillary Clinton? Will the campaign slogan “Stronger Together” now be seen with new eyes?
Bernie Sanders disappointed a lot of his supporters when he officially endorsed Hillary Clinton in her race to run for president in 2016, but Bernie has been persistent that everyone should join him in Philadelphia.
Is the secret behind Bernie Sanders’ big rally in Philadelphia related to an announcement that he will run for vice president of the United States alongside Hillary Clinton?
Unfortunately, videos about Bernie Sanders on fan accounts on YouTube show that they are still very much against Hillary Clinton now that Bernie Sanders is endorsing her for the presidential race.
The pro-Bernie Sanders YouTube account, Sane Progressive, declared on July 12 that they feel the Democratic Party is on the verge of a split, and as of July 15, the video had over 22,000 likes with hundreds of comments.

However, is it possible that Bernie Sanders will regain the confidence of his supporters by joining up with Hillary Clinton? Could this be Bernie Sanders’ reason for all the enthusiasm he has placed on attending the DNC in Philly during the month of July?
For example, there were rumors circulating on social media that said that the same day that Bernie Sanders was announcing his withdrawal from the presidential race, his campaign was calling supporters to make sure they were still attending the DNC as delegates.
Other interesting themes include Bernie Sanders’ Twitter account announcing in the days before his withdrawal that his DNC delegates still need support, as previously reported by the Inquisitr.
Bernie Sanders also announced in early July that he was attempting to hold a rally for supporters on July 24, the day before the official start date of the DNC.
Our job now is to see our progressive platform implemented by a Democratic Senate, a Democratic House and a Hillary Clinton presidency.

According to a July 15 announcement from NBC, Bernie Sanders was added as a speaker at the Democratic National Convention that will take place between July 25 to 28.
Is all of this emphasis on a rally and delegates a sign of a surprise Bernie Sanders might have up his sleeves — such as an announcement that he will be Hillary Clinton’s vice president?
With the DNC less than two weeks away, everyone is waiting on Hillary Clinton to make her announcement about the Democratic vice president nomination. The choice of asking Vice President Joe Biden has been dismissed because Biden is ready to retire.
Is Bernie Sanders the logical choice? Interestingly, Wall Street Journal made a cheat sheet around July 12 about Hillary Clinton’s possible Democratic vice president nomination candidates, and Bernie Sanders was not on their list.
When The Hill examined this issue on July 12, they asked Bernie Sanders, and he stated that it is unlikely he will have a chance to get the Democratic vice president nomination.
This campaign isn't just about electing Bernie Sanders. It's about the needs of the American people & the ideas to address those needs.

Nevertheless, Bernie Sanders pointed out that Hillary Clinton also had not asked him to be her vice president in the first place, and this means that Bernie is not out of the running.
L.A. Times also leaves Bernie Sanders off their list and thinks Hillary Clinton will pick one of six candidates for the Democratic vice president nomination that includes Cory Booker, Tom Perez, Elizabeth Warren, Julian Castro, Sherrod Brown, or Tim Caine.
On the other hand, Bernie Sanders could be looking to do more with the “revolution” he and his fans have started. On July 15, USA Today reported “Bernie Sanders will launch organizations to spread progressive messages.”
Bernie Sanders has repeatedly said, since July 12, that his main goals is to make sure Donald Trump does not get elected, and that means supporting Hillary Clinton. Bernie Sanders’ other goal is forming a political organization called Our Revolution.
In an opinion piece in the Chicago Tribune from July 13, they declare that “No, Bernie Sanders supporters [will not] flock to Donald Trump.”
They go on to say the following about the absurdity of Bernie Sanders supporters shifting to the Donald Trump camp instead of voting for Hillary Clinton.
“It was ludicrous from the get-go to think Sanders’ followers — pro-gay rights, pro-choice, pro-immigration, pro-environmentalist, pro-nationalized health care supporters, pro-Black Lives Matter — would rush to the candidate who has insulted women, minorities and the disabled, wants to build a wall and deport millions (while keeping all Muslims out) and has suggested women should be punished for abortions.”
