He will , of course , make it clear that Clinton is the friend of the earth on the great battle against climate change , while Trump stands on the wrong side of that great issue of our age . Gore is a longtime champion of civil liberties and civil rights and will add his voice to progressives making it clear that Clinton would name a Supreme Court that will defend these core values and overturn the heinous Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision that let loose the corrupting power of campaign money . Gore , whom I predict will campaign in Florida , among other states , is the most ideal person in the world to warn those who deplore Trump but are tempted to vote for Stein or Johnson that a vote for these two candidates could elect Trump , as votes government.legislate.legislate for Green nominee Ralph Nader in 2000 almost certainly elected President George W. Bush , leading to all of the problems that followed . Gore has huge moral power and credibility on this subject .

Hide Caption 43 of 43 The hard truth is the math makes your winning the Democratic nomination impossible .

They will not be radical ideologues of the left . They will be judges with long standing court experience , solid legal credentials , and the highest ratings from the ABA and other legal groups .

Clinton ca n't and wo n't try to avoid the problem that has been perennially the single biggest tormenting lightening rod for black - white discord , namely , wanton police violence against blacks and minorities , and the astronomical numbers of blacks in America 's jails and prisons . Her Oval Office to - do list is a mix of old and new proposals on police and criminal justice reform .

“ Lately , there ’s been a mindset in Congress that just about any international treaty is somehow a violation of American sovereignty , and so the Senate almost never approves treaties anymore , ” Mr. Obama said . “ They voted down a treaty to protect disabled Americans , including our veterans , while Sen. and World War II veteran Bob Dole was sitting right there in the Senate chambers in a wheelchair . ” The U.N. treaty to ban discrimination against the disabled fell five votes government.vote.castvote short in the Senate in 2012 . Senate Republicans objected that it would create new abortion rights and interfere with the ability of parents to homeschool disabled children .

Although the odds in President Truman 's election in 1948 were 20 to 1 against his election , President Truman romped home the winner over Governor Dewey assisted by the invisible and invincible Zionist political steam - roller that always elects their candidates . President Truman not only used the power and prestige of the United States to compel the United Nations to admit the State of Israel as a peace - loving nation , the regime of an armed uprising in Palestine by transplanted aliens , but he made billions of United States taxpayers dollars available to Talmudists to make the State of Israel powerful . When the day to vote for the admission of the State of Iseral arrived they were short two votes government.vote.na . The plan was about to collapse . In the emergency , Mr Charles H. Silver engaged Cardinal Spellman to make two trips to South America to change their votes in the United Nations against the admission of the State of Israel into the United Nation to vote in favor of the admission of the State of Israel into the United Nations as a member .

Given the choice of a man who promises to reinstitute Glass - Steagall , make college education free , and provide Medicare for all , and a woman who will animate conversations about gender equity , large numbers of female Democrats have chosen the former . Just as in 2008 , Clinton has found herself rejected by her “ natural constituency ” as a less inspirational candidate , a less plausible agent of change than her male opponent — and this time , it ’s rather more galling , because the opponent in question is not an elegant , younger black man who can sing Al Green songs , but a seventy - four - year - old white man with the oratory style of a staff sergeant . In Iowa and New Hampshire , Sanders took 80 percent and 82 percent respectively of votes government.legislate.legislate among women under the age of 30 ; in Nevada , he took 73 percent of the votes among women under the age of 45 . In South Carolina and several of the states that voted on Super Tuesday , Clinton did much better with young women voters , but even in these contests , it was her popularity among minority voters of both sexes rather than gender solidarity that proved crucial to her victories .

Democrat friends of mine who are involved in the Clinton effort readily acknowledge the state is changing . Since 2012 there 's been a 200,000 vote shift in registration in Pennsylvania away from the Democrats and towards the Republicans . Similarly in Florida , since 2012 , there 's been a 300,000 vote change in registration towards the Republicans and away from the Democrats , in a state that Barack Obama won by 94,000 votes government.vote.castvote last time around . These states are going to be in contention . But one of the reasons why they ’re going to be in contention all the way to end is both major political parties are being disrupted .
