82. He's been handed a giant, very visable platform thanks to the TrumpNazi

I'm not so sure he's quite so rigid about not running. I certainly understand the history preservation of his win in 2000. He did answer the question in a recent forum with Tom Friedman as "not likely". I think that's a lot softer than "absolutely not". Thanks to the TrumpNazi, I think he's been handed a giant, very visible platform on the environment and the threat of climate change which he's now beginning to build on. Our country desperately needs him. I think a Gore/Warren ticket has a pretty good ring to it. I certainly won't hesitate to back him again, that's for sure.
