The world, that is the world of capitalism and freedom, would be better off with anyone of us rather than Al Gore meeting with Donald Trump.

Former Vice President Al Gore touted Ivanka Trump's commitment to a climate policy "that makes sense" Monday night after meeting with President-elect Donald Trump and his daughter.
“It's no secret that Ivanka Trump is very committed to having a climate policy that makes sense for our country and for our world and that was certainly evident in the conversation that I had with her," Gore told Chris Hayes on MSNBC's "All In." "I appreciate the fact that she is very concerned about this."
Gore stressed that he preferred to "not give too many details" about the meeting but called it a "very intelligent exchange."
Ivanka Trump has singled out environmental regulation as her primary policy focus as an incoming first daughter, despite her father's past claims that climate change is a hoax propagated by China. Reince Priebus, the incoming White House chief of staff, in recent days said Trump's "default position" on the topic was that “most of it is a bunch of bunk.”
Gore described both meetings earlier Monday as "very productive" and "extremely interesting," according to pool reports.
"I had a lengthy and very productive session with the president-elect,” Gore told reporters. “It was a sincere search for areas of common ground. I had a meeting beforehand with Ivanka Trump. The bulk of the time was with the president-elect, Donald Trump. I found it an extremely interesting conversation, and to be continued, and I'm just going to leave it at that.”
Despite Gore's endorsement of Ivanka Trump, the president-elect continues to consider Cabinet candidates that have views that run counter to the former vice president's.
Among Trump's top contenders to head the Department of Energy is Oklahoma oilman and Continental Resources CEO Harold Hamm, who was a leading voice on energy policy in the Trump camp during the presidential campaign. Venture capitalist Robert Grady is seen as another potential energy secretary pick.
Trump has considered Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson for secretary of state.
I am trusting Trump, too.
As for Ivanka, she strikes me as a leftist, but I don’t think the American people elected her.
“The petulant child neverTrumpers are demanding that Trump answer to them. They can hold their breath and stand in line behind the MSM for that one.”
Amen & AMEN!!!
SO many are whining & demanding Trump do what they want him to do of late. Makes me laugh. A lot! Peace :)
Do you write for National Review on the side?
What a rotten thing to say.
Who isn't? We just have different ideas about what that climate policy might be.
They remind me of the porkette SJW gif where the Special Snowflake is going off on somebody at a rally, and some girl gets it on video...
The world, that is the world of capitalism and freedom, would be better off with anyone of us rather than Al Gore meeting with Donald Trump.
grow up
nathanbedfordTrigglyPuff is TRIGGERED!!! :)
Another Helen Lovejoy thread?
“The world, that is the world of capitalism and freedom, would be better off with anyone of us rather than Al Gore meeting with Donald Trump.”
Again, that’s funny. I don’t care who you are or will be. :)
Those who thought in the past Trump shouldn’t be president will constantly find reasons to wish he wasn’t. Some will bellyache mindlessly & others will find “flaws” or “weaknesses” where none exist.
So far, Trump is everything I believed he would be if he was elected President. The coolest part now is, he is winning, freaking out naysayers & doing great work for the country before he’s actually been sworn into office.
The next 8 years are going to be so much fun. Winning & laughing are 2 things I never get enough of.
“My great hope for the future remains the Donald Trump presented to us during the campaign. “
That must be why you were so vehemently against Trump, because you had all that great hope for him.
Why should anyone pay attention to your endless carping about Trump any more than they do that of Glenn Beck?
Because your verbiage is more orotund and pompous?
Either way it’s the same Chicken Little, Boy Cries Wolf story.
When this latest complaint fails to pan out you’ll drop it and move on to the next one.
The man who is been so profligate with his tweets cannot vouchsafe us conservatives only 145 characters of assurance that capitalism will not be undermined.
Undermined? You mean like campaigning for months on end to suppress support for the candidate selected by GOP voters to the benefit of Hillary Criminal and her SCOTUS? That kind of undermining?
Strong is the NeverTrump with this one.
All I ask for is 145 characters of reassurance!
“Amid all the gaiety and hilarity, may we please have 145 characters of reassurance?”
No assurance for you, Nathan. Sowwy. Trump doesn’t tweet on demand. Neither do I so I am very ok with it.
Maybe you can hookup with the Dilbert guy, Scott Adams & learn the Art of Persuasion. Might make for a fun hobby, right?
The world, that is the world of capitalism and freedom, would be better off with anyone of us rather than Al Gore meeting with Donald Trump.
“Constitutional Conservatives” suppressing support for Trump for months on end to the benefit of Hillary Criminal and her Constitution destroying SCOTUS advanced “capitalism and freedom”? Interesting.
