I think Saunders was credible, at least in terms of integrity, experience, politics and even seemed honest. But realistically, he'd have been as electable with swing voters and moderates as Trump is.

Sanders lost all credibility when he endorsed Clinton.

If the VP croaks, the P gets to pick a new one*. * This is how Gerald Ford became President without every being elected. Nixon's VP had to resign, so Nixon picked Ford to replace him. Then Nixon had to resign; hey presto! President Ford.

All the polls here said we'd have a hung parliament and would stay in the EU. Polls are totally useless, unless you ask everyone.
