As far as getting the Republican nomination for president goes...

I don't really know what that means looking from 2016.

Even looking three years into the future can be difficult. Look at the first couple of pages of this thread.

You'll be amazed about the cred Al Gore has in that crowd, actually. One of the professors I work with has a lecture based on Gore's "The Future" book and is far and away one of the uni's most popular lectures. They eat it up.

A lot of that makes him popular around Millennials, precisely  :D

I'm not saying they go around with Al Gore shirts or anything, it's just that he is seen in a much better light around that crowd that around people our generation(s).

And no, I don't think he's going to make that much of a difference, before the "Trump campaign will collapse now" crowd jumps at me.

As a millennial, I don't know anyone who is all that positive about him. His PowerPoint about climate change was award winning but too bad he did it all while on a private jet and living in mega homes.

The Atlantic endorses Clinton - only its third such endorsement in its history (other two were Lincoln in 1860 and Johnson in 1964).

I saw the highlights of the debate this morning.  Every time Kaine spoke I kept thinking:



Which became funny as some of the pundits who tried to put a happy face on Kaine's performance called him the attack dog Clinton needs.  Why she needs an attack Yorkie is a mystery to me.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Hillary already has an ad out contrasting Pence's denails

KATHERINE:  Tim, tu as été aux États-Unis, et tu parles bien le langage.

TIM:  Un peu, madame.

KATHERINE:  Je te prie, m'enseignez. Il faut que j'apprenne à parler.
Comment appelez-vous les ongles en anglais?

TIM:  Les ongles? Nous les appelons "de nails."

He tried before, without success but now without even trying:
