(41,991 posts)You know, looking at Al, Hillary, Bill and Trump, she's more vital looking than any of them. Stamina my ass.

(58,785 posts)other major policy issues, but, of necessity, it's not been at the top, and I'm extremely pleased that climate change was chosen as the issue to offer in contrast to Trump's bottom-trolling. We really, really need to talk climate, of course, and when Trump goes extra-low, we go...sky high.
And about time Gore weighed in.

(10,345 posts)Al Gore is pop culture as well as politics. So yeah, knowledge of him spans generations dumbass media.

Sweating.
He does look like he is a bit overheated. It's probably very hot and humid in that venue.

(15,696 posts)I was frosting cupcakes and had my back to the TV. It sounded like Trump had sent in a Brooks Bros. type bunch to disrupt Clinton and promote their dumbass anti-climate change crap. The crowd must've taken care of them because the shouting stopped rather abruptly.

(15,696 posts)This event is incredibly important and very entertaining, as well! I haven't seen Hillary Clinton and Al Gore campaigning together since 2000. And I hope the people of Florida are paying close attention.

(15,224 posts)I remember the fight. I remember his face when he gave up. Gave up for the good of the country rather than to continue the fight and tear the country apart.
I will always remember the sadness, and I will always remember that he should have been President AND that the world we live in today would have been better had that happened.
I am glad to see him back on the campaign trail. He has insight that is very valuable.

(26,295 posts)I was in the 'Veterans for Kerry' group and we usually got front row seats for every event. So afterwards, I was right in front of Al Gore, when the meet and greet started. I even got a hug and little peck on the cheek.
My friends were very envious.

(2,302 posts)...he mentioned Amendment 1 on the Florida ballot. It looks like it's PRO solar power, and I was going to vote for it, but it's apparently written by and for the fossil-fuel utility mastesr to benefit them. (I did check and it's true.)

(5,902 posts)The best president we never had.
I actually lost a good friend - my best friend at the time - over our voting differences that year (this was in Orange County, CA, you see, where if you're white it was pretty much expected of you to be a rabid, ultra-conservative Rethug).
"With Bush, we'll have nothing but war and recession," I warned him. I think the Bush debacle changed many minds in the OC, hard-hit as they were.
