Al Gore is "considering" another run at the White House; would you support him?

[rsexaminer]

The Democratic primary isn't as bloated as the Republican side, but things could change shortly. Reports say that former Vice President Al Gore is considering another run at the White House, but would you support him?

[Starry Messenger]

2. No and no.

[CentralMass]

3. No.

[giftedgirl77]

4. Hell no.

[napi21]

5. No. I was very disappointed in the way Al failed to fight for the Presidency during

the battle for the recount in Fla. In the end, it turned out he really DID win the state, but he didn't fight nearly as hard as the Shrubbies did. IMO, he forfeited any right to ever run again

6. Leiberman's ready for VP.

And they can quit before the votes are counted.

[Juicy_Bellows]

7. He's not running and no I wouldn't support him.

Al is alright in my book but he didn't fight when he rightfully won in 2000. He shoulda fought like a badger with an infected hemorrhoid but he rolled.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

8. Against Hillary? Yes.

[RiverLover]

24. +1 /nt

[Binkie The Clown]

9. Nope. I'm sticking with Bernie. n/t

[BlueJazz]

26. An extremely wise decision.

[Cleita]

42. Me too.

If Hillary was the only viable candidate I would but since Bernie is in the race, I won't.

[msongs]

11. been there done that, no nt

[m-lekktor]

12. no.nt

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. Not a chance.

Nor would I support Biden.

Or any other establishment politician they choose to toss in the ring.

[newfie11]

14. Against Hillary you bet

Not against Bernie.

[Adrahil]

15. Newp. nt

[LiberalElite]

16. No. He folded in 2000 and left us with Bush the Moron nt

[NaturalHigh]

17. Nope.

[treestar]

18. Yes.

[sibelian]

19. #AnyoneButBernie

[Puddy]

20. NO.... Bernie all the way!

[Marrah_G]

21. No

I am supporting the left side of the party. I like Gore as a human being, but I want to see someone in office who wants change and will use their office to push for real, radical change.

[FSogol]

22. Unrec. Truthless clickbait.

While a "senior Democrat" told Buzzfeed News that former vice president Al Gore was considering a presidential run — and that "they're getting the old gang together" — Gore's spokesperson went on record to tell Politico there that there is "no truth to it."

Does the RW rag, the Examiner still pay by the page view, Bob?
Nevermind, I can guess the answer.

[hack89]

23. No. nt

[WI_DEM]

25. Gore repudiated this report.

[still_one]

27. The MSM really has nothing better to do then report nonesense.

[heather blossom]

28. Absolutely

If he runs, I would support him. He has the experience and temperament to be president.

[DrDan]

29. Nope - Lieberman was the deal-breaker

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

30. No, losers gonna lose.

Not supporting anyone who has already lost a run at the White House.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

31. Excuse me, brother,

but Al Gore won Florida and the election. Only the criminal conspiracy of Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris that deprived tens of thousands of innocent black Floridian voters the right to vote made it even close, plus the treasonous partisan 5-4 decision by a rogue SCOTUS finished the coup d'etat.

Having said that, as one of the most loyal, die-hard supporters of Gore on this board, I have to say it is Bernie's time now!

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

33. He folded, though.

I'll grant that he did actually win, but then he simply let that ass Bush have it, rather than fighting. And for the same sort of wishy washy reason that Ford pardoned Nixon. They gave us chronic problems to avoid the pain of lancing the boil immediately.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

36. I hate to agree,

but in retrospect I believe he is too genteel to beat the oligarchy. That is why we need a mean-ass, junkyard dog, class warrior like Bernie to lead the revolution. But I always love the Paul Revere of climate change.

[Uncle Joe]

38. There is no scenario under which Gore could've won even if the SC hadn't stopped the vote.

If the Florida SC opinion had been upheld and the entire state's votes were counted and Gore came out on top.

The Florida Republican Legislature was prepared to send its own slate of electors and the Republican controlled Congress would've approved of them.

That's precisely why the U.S. Supreme Court stopped the votes from being counted, they didn't want the Republican Party to suffer eventual political backlash in 2002 for taking such an unpopular anti-democratic move.

Gore took it as far as he could.

[NCTraveler]

32. No. nt.

[JackInGreen]

34. Not unless he gets the nom

Until then it's Bernie.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

37. +1 n/t

[Romulox]

35. Mr. NAFTA himself? Not just "no"... nt

[whatchamacallit]

39. No thanks, I'm done with moderate establishment dems

The job is making this country as good as it can be for as many as possible, and they're just not getting it done.

[LWolf]

40. Nope. nt

[NowSam]

41. If Bernie weren't running maybe

If Bernie were not running I would consider voting for Al Gore. It was a travesty what occurred in 2000. I agree that he should have fought harder and not given in when he did. He accepted defeat at the time because he said we are a nation of laws. He accepted the decision of the Supreme Court even though it favored Bush. One can only wonder what would have occurred had he challenged the Supreme Court Decision? The highest court in the land. Where does one go beyond that?

The court sure blew it on that one and other decisions too BUT it did get it right on some important decisions this very year and often.

I think Al set a good example in that way. I think he really blows it by not being able to articulate his positions as clearly as Bernie Sanders. Bernie is so straight forward and cuts right through to the truth. His exposing of the injustices put upon the people is the reason he has won my vote.

If he were not running and if Bush becomes the nominee over there than I would like Al run and win. Right the wrong of 2000.

My hope is Sanders/Warren 2016.

[mvd]

43. He deserves his stolen Presidency, but must say I would support Hillary over him

Unfortunately I think Gore's time as a viable candidate has passed.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

45. I am forced to concur

I wish that he had run as an "I told you so" revenge candidate in 2004. 2016 seems like 12 years too late for him to be a viable candidate. I am more eager to see Hillary win in 2016 (though will support the Democratic nominee, whoever they are).

[PowerToThePeople]

44. I support his running in the primaries.
