Convicted felon Donald J. Trump thread XXX: President Elect

It is kind of a shame how the controversy around the 2000 election results has obscured what an all-time atrocity of a campaign Gore ran that year. Coming out of a popular administration and facing a millionaire nepo-candidate who made the centerpiece of his campaign the elimination of social security; all he had to do was hold up a mirror to the republican platform and he would have gotten 400 electoral votes. Instead he just sucked in his stomach and mumbled something about lockboxes for four months while the press narrative painted the whole affair as the lowest-stakes election of all time. Disgusting.

I wasn’t able to vote in that election. I remember teachers not understanding how Gore lost.

His campaign was every bit as bad as Clinton 2016, maybe worse

Yea for a politician he was beating the climate change drum well before most. If he wins in 2000 we are probably in a better position environmentally.

Gore wasn’t that bad, the politicians just weren’t prepared for the dumb, angry world that Fox News was turning America into.

Kerry campaign was breathtakingly inept. Spent like half his time defending his Vietnam service which absolutely no one gave a fuck about. You cannot run a campaign always on defense, that’s why Biden is collapsing.

Just like Clinton, still think she would make the best president of anyone. However, she’s unelectable because people are stupid.

USA and everywhere else is full of dumb assholes. Who do you expect them to vote for?

Never forget. “I’m John Kerry and I’m… REPORTING FOR DUTY”

Always was.

My fave Gore moment was this awkward attempted faceoff with GWB. W played it absolutely perfectly, to his credit.

Don’t worry, they’ll still be playing the classic DONALD THE DOVE routine throughout the campaign.

Dude should have asked which president and when the guy says Trump, ask if Trump is transitioning. Just keep playing ignorant, believing that Trump is transitioning. Just keep up the bit the entire flight. “That’s really great for him,” etc. See how flustered the MAGA gets.

I’m often not sure whether it’s Tina Fey or Sarah Palin.
