This isn't bout patriotism. This is about ambition.
It's always about ambition.
Of course, you're right on all three points. Still, Algore has to know that he can't possibly win the Presidency as a Green....but his running would topple the Clintons for sure. He has to know that.
So where do you think his ambitions lay, other than the ambition to topple the Clowntoons?
IMHO, whether he sees it or not, I see it as a noble ambition.
In getting the Democrat nomination. As I said in post #306, I think this is a threat designed to keep the Clintons in check. And I think it's a pretty shrewd move on his part, provided he doesn't end up dead in a single-car wreck.
