Still hoping Bernie and Hillary put their egos aside and just run on a ticket together. Hillary should want to attach herself to his movement anyways (or parts of it). If Bernie is on the ticket, those crowds will still keep coming.

I don't think we actually know for sure that Hillary/Bernie works as a joint ticket.
I don't know if Bernie would even be willing to join such a ticket. Further, I know that one of the big concerns from the Clinton camp is whether the VP pick will "outshine" her and potentially damage chances by making the name at the top of the ticket look weak.
Furthermore, I resent Bernie's attitude toward the later stage of the primaries and I don't know as a Hillary supporter that I would be nearly as satisfied with Bernie on the ticket as with Warren, for example.
There's a chance that a join ticket could be the Trump-killer powerhouse we need, but I don't know that we can guarantee that.
But we should know the decision soon - hopefully sooner than late August as when Obama revealed Biden. I'd REALLY like to know at or just after the convention, though I know that will never happen.
