It is interesting to ponder: if the Dems (leadership, Gore, Hillary) had done the right thing and thrown Bubba over the side during impeachment when all of his criminality was made known, Al Gore would have followed him as president and probably won two terms on his own (9+ years as President Al!)...
And wife Hillary would have left Bubba in disgrace, gotten all the sympathy vote and been elected senator of NY... And then she would have been in the perfect position to go on for the Dem nomination and coronation in 2008. Hey Dems: was saving Bubba from the disgrace that he so fervently deserved worth it?
I think they would all answer with a resounding NO today.
You are forgetting 9/11. Or do you think 9/11 would not have happened if Gore had become President? If you do then you are illusional. Also if Gore had been President, not only would we have had one attack but 2 or maybe even three, before he would have woken up and realized that we were attacked
I often ponder the vitriol some on this board have for those pubbies who voted against xxx42’s conviction: these Senators kept us from a President Algore and the very result you outlined. And that was before we knew how deranged he was, LOLOL! Maybe, just maybe, they knew something about the character of Algore (or viewed the political future in a manner) that we did not, and voted accordingly?
