Presumably, the Republicans would have fought against Gore’s agenda, which they have failed to do in several cases with Bush. You can never know what that future would have been like, but we probably would have retained both houses. I don’t know that the Senate would have fought hard against his horrible Supreme Court choices. It’s scary to think of Gore in charge during 9/11, but I believe the road would have taken him to Iraq just as it did Bush. The only benefit there would be that the Democrats and the MSM would actually be supportive of the action, but having Gore-picked people in charge is too much to contemplate. Finally, I don’t think illegal immigration would have been pushed so hard under Gore, because I don’t think it’s his issue like it is with Bush. Bush has been talking this crap since he was governor, and it alarmed me even then. I didn’t see much choice at the time, but I wasn’t happy to cast a vote for a guy who proclaimed, “The children of illegals WILL be educated in MY state as long as I’M governor,” in that vindictive tone we’ve unfortunately come to know so well. Of course, Gore’s issue is global alarmism, and I’m sure he’d be ramrodding that through with the same gusto and the same disastrous result as Bush and this immigration nightmare.
“I believe the road would have taken him to Iraq just as it did Bush. ‘
I don’t know. But if it had, at least there would have been more pressure from the left to stay the course.
