Hillary Clinton is having a bad week. She got pneumonia, she almost collapsed, and her lead over Donald Trump in the polls is evaporating.
American voters have never really liked Hillary, but she had been benefiting from the fact that they like Donald Trump even less. Until recently, that is.
Hillary’s low numbers among young voters, a demographic that typically favors Democrats, are particularly shocking.
In light of this bad news, the Clinton campaign has decided it needs to bring in a fresh face, perhaps a hip youngster who relates to millennials, a charismatic figure who… Oh, never mind, it’s Al Gore.
Bill Clinton’s former VP is a few years younger than Bernie Sanders, who was a top draw for millennials during the Democratic primary, but how many young people actually know who Al Gore is?
In his own mind, Al Gore is best known for being a top advocate for “doing something” about climate change, but most people know him as the guy who lost to George W. Bush and is constantly getting mocked on Saturday Night Live and South Park.
Some Democrats, by the way, are still peddling conspiracies about the 2000 election that Gore lost.
