De Facto Republican Allies - non-voters and "progressive?" 3rd party candidates

8. The Statement, Sir, Was That Mr. Gore Was Not A Politically Astute Candidate

His selection of Lieberman for a running mate, and distancing himself from President Clinton, are sufficient demonstration of that.

I supported Mrs. Clinton in both 2008 and 2016, but she is not particularly good at campaigning for office. That is unfortunate, as she would be an excellent President, and quite good at the 'retail politics' necessary to persuade office-holders towards a desired action.

I understand your distress, at the casual dismissal of these two Democratic stalwarts in the post, but if anything, it adds heft to the point made, that third party spoilers aid Republicans, to have it made by someone who might well have succumbed to the appeal of such candidates out of disenchantment, or lack of enthusiasm for the best choice.
