Those are interesting possibilities but they also would paint a picture of a party in disarray. Given the current crisis in the Republican Party, the Democrats would be wise to do anything they can to present an image of stable, crisis-free leadership.

Now, Biden has recently made some very favorable statements about Bernie, coming fairly close to a seeming endorsement. In the event of a terminal crisis, maybe the smart move is for Hillary to step aside and for the Biden, as well as Obama and the party, to get behind Sanders.
