would Sanders be interested in the position?

this is what I found:

http://www.attn.com/stories/13092/bernie-sanders-would-have-accepted-vice-president-position

(if someone would have asked him)

and this:

http://www.npr.org/2016/11/17/502437435/sanders-trump-will-have-an-ally-with-me-if-he-stands-up-to-corporate-america

(if Trump) "has the guts"... "he will have an ally with me."

... does he? (have the guts)

"A loop hole for Bernie"

(How to elect Bernie VP in less than a week.)

First thing you need is some feeling that a Trump presidency would be a little bit better with a little Sanders in there, and be willing to admit that pursuing something like that might be a worthwhile goal.

Next thing to know is that the electors are all going to the statehouses on Dec 19th

Many people are probably going to be at each statehouse advocating for faithless electors to go with the popular vote. (switch to voting Hillary)

many, many, many more then probably ever before.

(this is one of the reasons this can work in such a short amount of time)

The electors' have the right to choose how they vote.

the electors are talking together, and people are calling electors

...

there is a high level of political activation, more protests, more people paying attention to political events, more awareness of the electoral college.

There is currently a struggle between the forces of established authority and the marginalized forgotten man -- NoDAPL for instance, highlights this as well as the environment, corpratism..

mass deporation

islamophobia

racism

healthcare

social security

living wage

Bernie would be an advocate directly in Trump's ear.

...

Electors are already publicly announcing that they will write down alternate names -- others will probably quietly abstain.

this is a kind of fluidity that rarely happens -- a loop hole

The People can respectfully request that the electors vote for Bernie as VPOTUS
