Al Gore: GOP primaries are ‘troubling exercise’ that drive candidates to ‘absurd’ policy positions

Cenk interviews Current chairman Al Gore about GOP primaries driving candidates toward “absurd” positions, choosing between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney — “I wouldn’t pick either one of them,” Gore insists — and the reluctance of the GOP to acknowledge the realities of climate change. Gore also talks about being elected to Congress the same year as Ron Paul, but says, “I don’t think he’s going to be the next not-Mitt Romney.” On how President Obama is doing, “I don’t think he gets enough credit for the good things he has done,” Gore says.
