“Maybe they’re going to put him on the ticket then.”
— Tad Devine, chief strategist for Sen. Bernie Sanders, suggesting to Politico that Sanders could be Hillary Clinton’s running mate.
Sanders Hires Strategist for Possible 2016 Campaign
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) “has spent months fishing for a strategist to guide his potential 2016 presidential campaign. On Monday, he hooked a big one: Tad Devine, one of the Democratic Party’s leading consultants and a former high-level campaign aide to Al Gore, John Kerry, and Michael Dukakis,” the Washington Post reports.
“Devine and Sanders, who first worked together on Sanders’s campaigns in the 1990s, have been huddling in recent weeks, mapping out how the brusque progressive senator could navigate a primary and present a formidable challenge to Hillary Rodham Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination.”
