2. Great! Show me that they can win.

Last time I checked, the goal of the Presidential ticket was to win the election; not make the activists feel good.

Shut up, you!  This is a winning ticket!!

6. Who will replace them in the Senate?

Any suggestions?

Quite frankly, I'd rather not give up two Senate seats -- even in states like Vermont and Massachusetts.

Wait- you're worried about your Senate seats in your "blue" states?  You guys sure are talking like a REGIONAL party would talk, if they had to risk Senate seats...

7. Yes. One of them as executive, I'm ok with, but the other must stay in the senate!

Deploying one of them to a position of insignificance would be awful for progressives.

8. We need as many progressives in Congress as possible.

If there are no progressives in Congress, it won't matter WHO we elect. President Sanders gets nothing done with a Republican Congress.

You had your chance last night.  We won.  So, sit down, and shut up.

10. Sanders or Warren would never be elected without a progressive wave AND

remember 3rd way dems triangulate on success.

If Sanders or Warren succeeded and brought half a dozen lefter-er dems into the senate and a dozen or so representatives, the 'pragmatists' would suddenly be singing songs about unity, fraternity and equality.

11. I would take a hiatus from my job to campaign for them.

And by campaign I mean try to get an actual position on the official campaign strategy team, bus tours and all. And I would try to make it permanent if they win the WH.

It's nothing more than wishful thinking. They would have almost no chance at being electable unfortunately.

Yeah, DAT. One would wonder why Fauxahontas would want to slit her political throat by running second fiddle with a Socialist.

Tho', it would be interesting to see the Republican Presidential candidate's Electroral College votes exceed a Sanders/Warren ticket's total votes.

I can't really fault the primitives on their choice of a dream team.  After the drubbings they took to their bench in 2010, 2012, and now 2014, they really don't have much to choose from anymore. 

Turns out three election's worth of crushing defeats in the state legislatures and gubernatorial races are leaving a mark, eh DUmmies?

24. Incorrect. The message from Democrat voters to their candidates was:

We are toddlers. Unless we get *everything* and unless you get us all excited, we will NOT go to the polls.

Meanwhile, Republican voters were voting en masse ONLY to keep Democrats from occupying positions in govt.

The end result is what we keep seeing.
