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.

They restored the draft ? I think Gore is kinda old for boot camp.
I still believe the idiot Dems are going to run Kerry again.
Can you imagine the look on Hillary’s face if Gore actually decided to jump into the race?
When the faggots want to draft Al Gore into the race you KNOW their Democrat presidental candidate choices SUCK....lol
Funniest thing I've read today!
I think Cruz is letting Trump entertain The People and build momentum for them wanting to select a Republican president. I hace a feeling he will begin to get more active and outspoken as the election draws near. He may be letting Trump burn himself out. I guess we’ll see.
What’s wrong with pretty boy edwards?
I’d love to see Weird Al get into the race.
Oh PLEASE!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!
Running an negative campaign against ManBearPig might possibly be the most fun one can have with their pants on.
What they did was state that Hillary isn’t all that popular to hard leftists.
Thanks, Salon!
Yeah, he stinks, alright.
I would have been the first poster/responder, but I couldn't stop laughing long enough to get my fingers on the keyboard.
Gore is a wash-up, has-been, never-was idiot.
I hope like hell the dimwitrats try to run him.
Can you imagine the brouhaha that will ensue?
Run, Al, run!
((Sigh))
20 months of any presidential candidate is going to cause people to tune them out. This is a good time to let Trump play the clown and then re-engage the public sometime next fall.
So Salon is now simply re-posting articles from The Onion as their own...?!
Latest Solon Headline: GORE’S GLOBAL FLATULENCE NEEDS TO PENETRATE POLITICAL ATMOSPHERE!
He has stature as a wildly successful, private-sector businessman?! Funny, the left didn't feel that way about Romney. The State Department emails & Benghazi were manufactured scandals? B.S.! Bush stole the election? Ho, hum.
I think I'll go back to ignoring Salon, thankyouverymuch.
