We missed having Gore, Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Harris as president. [View all]

They are all such intelligent, thoughtful people. I can't help thinking that our country would be in a better place today if we had been able to send these Democrats to the White House... especially Al Gore.

When Bill Clinton was nominated in 1992 I remember thinking that Gore would be in place to run in 2000. He has always taken the environment seriously, for the last 35 years. I felt like it would be really important to have him a president. What a disappointment GWB was.

I don't know if it will happen now. The environmental problems are not going to go away on their own, and with Trump in office we are going to have more and more international problems. Yes, we have a lot of good people but its harder and harder to get them elected to the presidency. I think the rest of the world looks at us as one of the main causes of environmental problems, but with the least interest in doing anything about it.
