| 98. He is truly a recovered politician |
|
Imagine what he went through on a personal level to get through being robbed of the most powerful job on the planet. He got through it and went on to make more of a contribution to our country than Bush has as *Resident.
I don't blame Gore for one second for not wanting to go through the selling of his soul that would be necessary had he really wanted to run. He is due our respect and gratitude.
