Honestly? I think they'll keep Biden. They know their chances of beating Trump are slim. Biden is their straight white male candidate. They won't blow a minority candidate or another woman on an election they know they'll probably lose. They'll burn Biden so they can claim, "See? We can't use straight white men anymore! Now we can only nominate LGBTQXYZ women of color!"
I think you’re right. Biden will still probably be the ticket’s lead but I could - just maybe - see Clinton being selected as his running mate. From a pure campaign strategy stand point, it’d be a terrible combination and one that would likely send independents and those only bordering on Trump absolutely sprinting for Republican all the way.
I still adamantly believe their best shot was Bloomberg (don’t like him, but he was their best chance). He was a pretty tame and moderate Democrat so he’d capture a lot of the undecideds, had an unquestionably successful business career and a not-terrible tenure as mayor which would likely appeal to RINOs that dislike Trump and lend him an air of credibility. But of course, the ever-so-edgy Sanders supporters couldn’t stand the idea of a person successful being on the ticket (maybe it’d remind them of their own shortcomings and failures?) and that gave him the boot. Almost ironic in a way.
