Would you rather see Al Gore become President, or EPA Administrator?

There's way too many babys (and asses) to kiss in the other job.

While strictly speaking not a Gore Democrat, I have an abiding respect for the man and acknowledge his stature and contribution.

If he becomes the nominee I'll vote for him; is he were named EPA chief, that's also great.

It's all good with Al Gore.

I don't want him constrained by government service.

If he'd been made president in 2000 then he'd have to deal with wars and politics and wouldn't have been able to do all he's done and get so many people's attention.

Novel concept I know.

How about let's read the question carefully. Novel concept I know.

For those of us who happen to think that he should be seen as he wishes to be seen.

Ok, on edit I see you have other. ;-)

Why would he want that?

impact where he is.

there is no government-functionary job appropriate for him. He is too broadly knowledgeable and skilled to be pigeon-holed.

His accomplishments on the climate crisis, impressive as they are, speak not just to commitment on that topic but to incredible capabilities to tackle enormous problems and draw on the leading experts around the world, and interact constructively with world leaders.

EPA Administrator indeed! That is a backhanded attempt to marginalize and pigeonhole him. No, if he does not run, I want him heading up whatever NGO he chooses to create, coming up with think tanks and initiatives to help address The Assault on Reason, to take back America. I want him keeping the presidents feet to the fire, not working for him/her.

And he is just the man to do it! (I would still rather he WERE the President though...) :applause:

EPA Admin is a bureaucratic job, consisting of (at best) enforcing existing legislation & maybe gently agitating for new stuff. No "bully pulpit."

Messiah?

:D

in the White House, and unfortunately sucked.

He has found his calling and in that calling alone is where he belongs.

to carry out jobs like EPA administrator and the head of FEMA. We've grown so used to cronyism we can hardly remember what that's like.

Why would you want to Gore to be a bureaucrat? Do you honestly think the best use of his talents would be pushing papers around?

Either you like him better than the current candidates or you don't. If you like him, you'd say president, obviously. "EPA admin" is the cop-out answer in lieu of "I prefer _______ (name current candidate)."
