I think Gore could do pretty will in the GE. The question is whether he'd be able to catch up to Hillary in the primaries.

But if anyone can give HRC a serious contest, it's Gore.

I always liked/respected him more than Clinton and was thrilled when he
ran the first time. He was robbed of his presidency and I for one think he would
be an exciting, thoughtful, and innovative president.

It's all about political energy!

Gore might be in? Great!

Which I have been saying to Bernie folks here all along.

Bernie's path to the nomination is not to tear Hillary down. That would only bring other establishment candidates into the race.
