Al Gore to Iowa Amid Clinton Scandal
The Weekly Standard ^ | 03/06/2015 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 03/06/2015 8:15:59 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

As reporters and members of Congress begin to dig into the Clinton email scandal, former Democratic presidential candidate has announced an upcoming visit to Iowa. He'll be in the important caucus state from May 5-7, as part of a training sessions for the Climate Reality Project, of which he's chairman.

Al Gore

"During the training, you’ll hear from The Climate Reality Project Chairman and founder, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, as well as world-class scientists, strategists, communicators, and technical specialists about the science of climate change and the direct cost impacts are having on communities around the world. Most importantly, you’ll learn about the solutions that are available today. You will also learn a twenty-first-century skillset in storytelling, public speaking, social media networking, and media engagement from successful grassroots organizers who will share best practices for positive impact," reads a description of the program.

"The Climate Reality Leadership Corps training will bring together scientists, non-profits, civil servants, and policy-makers to craft strategies and action plans towards a sustainable future for the U.S., the North American continent, and around the world."

While Gore has not expressed presidential ambitions in some time, some Republicans cannot help but wonder about the timing of the trip.  Especially as the Clinton email scandal begins to grow.

"When it comes to politicians visiting Iowa, I don’t believe in coincidences," one experienced Republican hand says.

"Al Gore, like Hillary Clinton has spent most of his life in politics. Running for office is something that’s in his blood, and he probably thinks that the waters for a potential bid are getting a little, shall we say, warmer."

Every prediction ALgore made has not materialized. Yet, he rolls on. The amount of gullible people in this world amazes me.

the country will either get served up a skunk or a snake for the next president, if there is a next one at all.

The latest in the parade of democrat has-beens, never-wases and assorted chaff.

Step up, Al. This’ll be fun.

You will also learn a twenty-first-century skillset in storytelling, public flim-flam, social media network spinning, and media obfuscation from successful socialist organizers who will share best lies for positive impact,”

If Algore is the candidate algore will be the president. I don’t understand why the Dem side is not full of wannabes this year as they have a lock on the election with Obamaa’s millions of new Democrats that will be “legally” voting in 2016 and millions more illegally voting. Of course the illegal voters will be concentrated in big Democrat states but the newly enfranhised wetbacks will be strategically located in marginal Republican states.

Like Hillary, the dems can’t “run” Al Gore. “Shuffle him along,” maybe.. but “run?” Oh, hell no.

This is a fallback position for the Dems. Hillary is being shredded in the press and they know the worst is yet to come.

Spotted Al doesn't have any base outside of the truly psychotic tree-huggers. Independents and middle-of-the-road Dems won't vote for him.

IMHO, this is all a set-up for JEB! who is the globalist/elitist choice.

Liberals need to have a "god" and a religion, too. Since the true God doesn't interest them, they chase the golden calf of "glow-bull warming."
