Is Bidens campaign dead? (EDIT: Well, this was turned around completely.)

Very little prevents a nominee from selecting their VP other than they must meet the criteria to be president themselves (US citizen, 35 years of age and have not already served two elected terms as president).

I specifically mean if it'd a good tactic for Biden to choose Bernie, given the circumstances. They're not that politically distant, but enough to create friction between the two, and don't know either if it'd be convenient for the Democrats to create such a pair. I want to imagine it'd do better against Trump than just Biden alone. 

Biden could never pick Bernie as a running mate for numerous reasons politically.

But the most obvious one is a 77 year old president should not have his potential back up in case of his death be 78 years old. Biden has to pick someone far younger than both of them.
