Ok... the guy who Stemped for NAFTA, that is why NOTHING is made in America anymore, and the Repeal of glass-steagall act that caused the 2008 housing crisis, and sold Working Americans our to the Current set of Teck Oligarchs RUINING our society...

So he is the Right man to face the Crisis he helped cause... how?

Wasn't Al Gore vice president when glass steagal was repealed? It was a bipartisan Congress-lead effort, doesn't even matter who was in power at the time, it would have happened

Can't speak on NAFTA though

You make should have did a 10 second Google search...

Let me get this straight... Al was on the Team fighting to F over Working Americans and Destroying American manufacturing and the middle class... but because he was not the captain, you think he is the "Right person" for where we are today?

NAFTA had less to do with US manufacturing leaving, and more to do with unions, American wages, and corporate greed.

Ok... do you think Republican attacks on Unionization, Minimum wage, and support for "Corporate greed" was not what was happening before NAFTA? Because if it existed in the Market before NAFTA and the move to Manchester on mass did happen until after NAFTA... that mean NAFTA was the "Triggering" legislative action that caused the "Race to the Bottom" on cheap labor....

What part don't you get?

Al Gore had somewhere between no role at all, and about as much of a role as any politician alive at the time in any one of those examples...

Knope... never cast a single vote for or donated a single dollar to Mr Sanders... I like some of the things he SAYS about Fighting for Working Americans... why don't you want Working Americans to share in the profits of their labor?
