Bernie Sanders says he won't be calling up his old opponent Hillary Clinton and asking her for advice on how to beat Donald Trump.
He nearly toppled her three years go in the presidential race, and he indicated Friday he believes he has a better chance than she did of defeating Trump.
Under questioning from Meghan McCain on 'The View,' who asked about advice-seeking calls he could have with Clinton, Sanders said: 'I suspect not. Hillary has not, you know, she has not called me.'

Clinton bested Sanders in the Democratic primary in 2016, but they buried the hatchet deep enough to provide a united front against Trump that fall
Sanders complimented Clinton's political career but did not attempt to hide the bad blood lingering between them.
'Look, we have differences,' he acknowledged. 'Hillary has played a very important role in modern American politics.'
Asked by McCain if he's saying he's not interested in Clinton's advice he told her point blank: 'I think not.'
McCain was referring to a DailyMail.com article revealing other candidates' outreach to Clinton before they launched their bids.
Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Kamala Harris consulted the former New York senator before they entered the 2020 presidential race.
Her endorsement and the associated donor base would be a boon to any candidate.
So far, both she and former President Barack Obama, another towering figure in Democratic politics, have withheld their support for any candidate. The first set of states will not hold the Democratic contests for another year.
Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill fired back at Sanders in a Friday afternoon tweet, however, casting his comments as unhelpful to booting Trump from office.
'I don’t know who our nominee is going to be but I am d*** sure that beating Trump & getting America back on the right footing is going to require a unified Democratic Party, so c*** like this 613 days before Election Day is irresponsible, counter-productive, & sets us all back,' Merrill said.
Philippe Reines, a longtime aide to Clinton who remains close to her operation, latched on to Merrill's statement and said: 'I know who it’s not going to be. '
Clinton bested Sanders in the Democratic primary in 2016, but they buried the hatchet deep enough to provide a united front against Trump that fall.
Sanders campaigned for Clinton in 13 states, holding 39 rallies, in the last three months of the general election, according to a record provided to Politico one of his spokeswomen.
Spokeswoman Arrianna Jones told the publication, as Sanders came under assault from Clinton's network for the number of private jets he chartered, that the senator stumped for Clinton at 17 events in one week alone at the end of the last presidential election.

Clintonworld viciously attacked Sanders as he entered the race for the amount of money he spent on private jets at their expense at the tail end of the race.
He has continued to rack up considerable fees since then, they pointed out. The gas-guzzling private travel flies in the face of a platform to reduce environmental stress that contributes to the warming of the planet.
Jones said that Sanders only travels by private jet when commercial flights are not available to and from his destinations.
Clinton has not personally commented on Sanders' second bid for the presidency.
Her current and former staffers have not been shy about sharing their disdain for him. They believe that Sanders' could have and should have worked harder to convince his supporters after he was out of the race to get behind Clinton.
'Those criticisms come from out political opponents,' he argued on Friday. 'I knocked my brains out working to get Hillary Clinton elected president.'
He'll have another shot at the White House next year as he competes for the presidency against a group of women senators, several mayors, a governor and an assortment of other candidates.
Clinton became the first woman to represent a major party as the nominee, but she wasn't able to crack the 'highest, hardest glass ceiling,' she put it. She won the Electoral College and went on to lose the all-important popular vote to Trump.
Sanders said Friday as he was asked about their match-up that he wasn't 'enthusiastic' to go back to 2016 before claiming that Clinton didn't do enough to reach out to white working class voters.
'Hillary and I have .... fundamental differences,' he said, declining to elaborate.
Sanders presented himself as a candidate who can beat Trump in states that Clinton lost.
'We are going to run an unprecedented grassroots campaign which is going to bring our people together doing exactly the opposite of what Trump is trying to do,' he said of his second act. 'This time it’ll be stronger, we’ll be involving more people, it’ll be more diverse, and most importantly, this time, we’re gonna win.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
