Is Al Gore going to run for President in 2016?

August 14, 2015

al-gore In my opinion the high profile potential Democratic candidates for President in 2016 were content with the prospect of Hillary Clinton being their nominee, and as such they were unwilling to join the race out of the fear of running a race they could not win with the only thing to come from it being the possibility of hurting her prospects in the general election by attacking her in the primary.

  But times have changed and it appears as if many Democrats have reluctantly come to the conclusion that Hillary Clinton’s email scandal is not just the product of a vast right wing conspiracy or a witch-hunt and now understand that the potential wrongdoing is real and could actually bring her down.

  This is evidenced by Bernie Sanders joining the race and the fact that he now leads the former Secretary of State by seven points in New Hampshire. And now, apparently sensing her vulnerability and facing the prospect that she can no longer win, other high profile candidates appear ready to enter the race. 

  It looks like Vice President Joe Biden is going to enter the race and, if this story is true, Al Gore might be seriously considering jumping in as well.

According to Buzzfeed, Al Gore supporters have begun conversations with the former Veep about a possible 2016 run. “But in recent days, ‘they’re getting the old gang together,’ a senior Democrat told BuzzFeed News.”

“They’re figuring out if there’s a path financially and politically,” the Democrat said. “It feels more real than it has in the past months.”

The speculation does not look good for the Hillary Clinton campaign. Clinton is currently getting hit by a wave of negative press: the FBI is examining the homebrewed computer she used for State Department business and politically and her competitor Bernie Sanders took the lead in the early primary state of New Hampshire.  It might be a good time for someone else to jump into the race.

  Members of Al Gore’s “inner circle” are downplaying this but where there is smoke there is fire and this could get very interesting…

    Al Gore could self finance a run since it would amount to a mere pittance compared to the hundreds of billions he’s garnered from his global warming climate change scam. From his perch in the White House he could have us all riding bicycles while the Chinese ride in cars bought with the money they would make from selling us light bulbs containing mercury and solar panels containing asbestos. Insanity is a veritable barrel of laughs.

    I saw this little tid-bit about Bernie that I imagine there are people that are not aware of it:

    How many realize Sanders is the founder of the Democratic Socialists of America (Chicago-based)… the group that got Ozero into our politics… the group, though operating under the umbrella of the Democrat Party, owes its allegiance to Socialist International… rather than to the US Constitution. Will we elect another enemy of our freedom??

      Given the track record of over half the voters in the new amerika he has a better chance than most of the “running for cover” RINOs (I give Trump and Carly a slight edge over the old geezer). They would vote for Eugene McCarthy if he was exhumeable…is that a word?

        It must be a word Peter! At least the two you mentioned are not afraid to speak their minds unlike most of those who would like to be President.

        Yes, it is a word, Peter! Even if it was not, we would probably know what you were trying to say, given we are all on the same wave length.

        Very true Lou. If he hadn’t of mentioned it I wouldn’t have even questioned it.

        What is strange, Steve, is that we are all friends here and have never met each other. We probably know what all the others are thinking better than what some of our friends around us are thinking. Guess “the word” is very powerful!

      The youth are being brainwashed that ‘socialism’ is cool Lou – indoctrinate the youth – why do you think it’s’ fad’ for them to wear nose rings … just like how cattle are led! Ankle bracelets and nose rings.

        They are trying to recreate a time they thought was COOL, Zip! I guess it was, but it was not what any of us would have continued doing because there was no benefit to it, no future. To stay at that stage in life meant to stagnate and never become someone successful. The teachers in college had a big part in what we were like then and guess that meant the government had their hand in it, as well. So, indoctrination did not just start with this generation or the last, I am pretty sure it went back into the 60’s. What do you think?

        The image makers always seem to be working for the enemy of ours souls. Yep, the 60s – jumpstarted from the 50s, 40s, 30s, etc. Even the Beatles were in on the CIA and M15 bringing in the drugs, degrading morals and a flaming the rebellious spirit against the social foundation this Country was based on.

        Everyone wants to be included and thought of as well – that social ingraining can work destruction as well as good. Today we’re seeing the corruption & illness for sure Peter. Have to keep your little buddy from that creepy thinking and System!

      I didn’t know that Lou, thanks for sharing. I guess this means Obama owes him one; possibly an endorsement?

    A scary business indeed that anyone is supporting Sanders and his Marxist ideology, let alone the numbers that apparently do right now.

      Are you taking stock in the age groups of people that are going to Sanders rallies? I do see some in their 40’s or 50’s, but it looks mainly younger than that. Is Sanders reliving his hippy years and the kids are eating it up? Who knows! However, there is something that is clicking with the kids with what he is saying. That is not a good thing. I think he will take Clinton out of the race, not the emails. She is insulated by those that still want her as president, but I am not sure if that will hold. We still have rules here in the USA, as much as they like to break them. Maybe there is still someone in the administration that knows right from wrong and will hold anyone doing wrong accountable. I am just hoping there is! Guess I just have the feeling that Bernie will be the one to remove her from the race.
