The presidential election is still sixteen months away, but this much is clear: Hillary Clinton is a vulnerable candidate.
Since announcing her candidacy in April, Clinton’s stature has steadily slipped. Things got even worse this week. We learned, first, that Bernie Sanders eclipsed Clinton in small, individual donations, which is an indicator of popular support among likely voters.
Second, and more problematic, the newest AP poll revealed significant weaknesses among Democrats on a host of issues, including trust, character, and compassion for average Americans.
These numbers are alarming heading into the general election, especially for Democrats. Bernie Sanders is running an important campaign, but it’s very difficult to see the entire party rallying around him.
The only other credible candidate being mentioned is Joe Biden, but there’s no evidence that he wants to run. Besides, he’s failed twice already and is still grieving after the loss of his son, Beau Biden.
Sure, the GOP field is studded with unserious candidates, but they still have a relatively deep bench of big-state governors and prominent senators. To win, therefore, the Democrats need a nationally viable candidate.
Enter Al Gore: the one person on the left, apart from Clinton and Biden, with the cachet to bridge the establishment and progressive wings of the party. Here are 10 reasons why a Gore candidacy makes sense, both for the Democratic Party and the country.

From Salon’s mouth to the Democrat Party’s ears! Listen to these words of wisdom O Democrats!
Release the inner chakra! (Yes, we’re supposed to have forgotten about that. Sorry, lefties. We haven’t!)
I have a much better idea. Why don't the dems run the Jebster as their candidate? They get a cheerleader for the invasion of the US, Common Core, and big killer government. We get rid of him.
LOL!
Bwwwaaaa, Thanks for the laugh!
Salon can be infuriating, but never have I laughed with such outright joy at this piece of drivel.
And yet here on FR we are promoting the ONE REPUBLICAN who she could beat on these issues.
Good job guys.
Please, can we dump Trump and get behind Cruz?
Comedic value, indeed. They keep recycling the same hardened leftists that have left a wake of failure and destruction behind them. And they want people to belive that this time things will turn out for the better?
“Gore passes the credibility test by any measure”
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
That alone is worth the price of admission!
For the military? Might be the best place for him.
How is this any more laughable than in 2000? Now over-the-top name recognition (due to all of the visibility in the past 15 years) plus a couple billion in a campaign war-chest (just like HRC) could make him a formidable candidate, regardless of many shortcomings, including wrong stances on most issues.
More comedy:
“unimpeachable authority on climate change”
He knows SO much more than the founder of the Weather Channel or the 31,000 Scientists that say AGW is a hoax.
The guy who got a D in “Man’s Relation to Nature” is an unimpeachable authority. Yeah, right.
I say, have him impeached.
The US will not have a happy ending should ManBearPig become POTUS.
Yeahhhhhhh baby, get ole Al in there.
Might not be a bad idea, he is so fat now it will take AF1 to fly his butt.
LMAO!!!! Draft Gore?? Oh, PLEASE do!!!
I’ll provide the donuts!
let’s hope they’re right...
And Al Gore is just flush with trustworthiness, character and compassion for average Americans. Love it! Go for it, Dems!!!
The author’s name sure is apropo. I bet his middle initial is B.
Boy, desperation has really sunk in. Let’s all enjoy it while we can.
