What role should Bernie play in the Clinton administration?

We've seen what he's capable of. We've seen his strengths and weaknesses, both politically and personally. What would you do with the guy?

It's not up to him to determine whatever that role may or may not be. It's up to Hillary. SHE WON.

He stole her voter data and funded his campaign from it.
He had NO platform when he began, then used bits from her well thought out campaign platform and made himself an image from it.

Her platform, well laid out before Sanders jumped in the race, is exactly what he now claims is his "movement".
He has slandered Hillary, her Party leaders, her Dem Party & her President & her supporters.

Read her original Campaign Platform.
BSanders has stumped on nothing Hillary didn't already lay out in her original & well defined platform.
And THIS is why he lost to Hillary Clinton.

He has nothing to contribute that is his own.
He deserves no voice in any of Hillary's decisions as Madam President.
I vote "No" & Why would she include him after the slanderous hateful campaign he ran against the most qualified & admired woman in the world?
He brings nothing to the Dem Party that Hillary hasn't already planned out explicitly.

Between trying to primary President Obama in 2012 and supplying Trump with ammunition to use against Hillary in 2016, he has proven unworthy of holding a position in any Democratic president's administration.

He has a role to play.

In a Dem controlled Senate, with a Dem controlled WH, he can help write and pass legislation. he can be an influential and positive force. If he so chooses.

I have nothing against him; in my view, he is not that impressive.
