you said one asterisk, al gore, he did win the popular vote.ent, you talk about electoral college victory. am i right? >> absolutely. because the dynamics have changed. the baseline is now that the democrats automatically get 5 to 6 million extra votes in just two states, new york and california. those votes count for zero in the electoral college. so, the baseline is now the democrats will win the popular vote in a close election. so, i now only predict and by the way, al gore should have won in florida too because of the suppression of many thousands of african-american votes. >> i'm going to put the keys up on the screen right now. and what i want to call attention to is that they are largely objective. there's not a debate about them. it's not what professor allen lichtman thinks. it's what the data says. when you look at number 12, charismatic incumbent, you said that is false with regard to donald trump. i know that half the country, at least 46% would probably disagree. speak to that. >> that's exactly my point. when you buy my book, you

vice president al gore appeared on sunday. he was asked about president trump and what's being done with the postal service. >> i -- i suspect that he's gone too far on this, even for him. because the republican members of the house and senate are really hearing from outraged voters, veterans who aren't getting their medicine, people who aren't getting their paychecks. people who are expecting things in the mail, and not receiving them. this is, really, an outrageous assault on american institution that goes back to the very beginning of our country. >> and al gore accepted his party's nomination for president at the democratic national convention 20 years ago. as we get closer to this year's convention, cnn's jessica dean tells us what to watch for. >> the 2020 democratic national convention is set to kick off on monday. and this is going to be a convention, unlike any convention we've ever seen. as democrats work around the pandemic, and work to make sure everyone is socially distanced and safe. as they, also, try to rev up

for al gore. 2.9 million voters voted for the democratic candidate. what did those votes end up mattering in the presidential election? >> zero. he got zero electoral votes in florida. >> that's because of the electoral college and his winner take all system. >> george walker bush has won florida's 25 electoral votes. >> there's this great american notion of one person, one vote. how does the electoral college align with that? >> given winner take all, it's a grotesque disorganization of one person one vote. if you win a state by one vote you get all the electoral college votes in that state, which could lead to pretty strong disproportionate outcomes. >> revote, revote. >> our system is a winner take all. it can be frustrating. >> gore must concede. >> it was a close election in florida. and i think the wonderful thing about the electoral college, we were able to isolate our problems to florida that year. we argued over hanging chads in a few counties in florida. imagine if we had been forced to conduct a recount of the entire election. that would be

the public accepted the result as did al gore, and you know, the world continued, and so hearing theent yesterday saying you know, the public won't stand for this, well, the public has stood for it in the past and they were perfectly fine letting it play out. >> gloria, you know -- >> david, i want you to weigh in, david, but remember, a lot of people are nervous about waiting in long lines at polling stations on november 3rd especially older voters, a lot of those older voters are republicans. this may be self-defeating on the part of republicans if they continue to rail against allowing people to vote by mail. >> it may well and i think that's what the republican governors and others in the party are worried about. this has been an issue from the beginning. republicans actually have in the past been more adroit at using mail-in voting and absentee voting than the democrats, so he is putting them in a bad position. i just want to say about gloria's point, you raised a really important point, which is at the end of that process, al gore acknowledged the result, and did it in a very c

wasn't 2000 and in both candidates were making really arguments they should not have been making so al gore was saying i want to recount only these 2 counties and george bush was saying i'm ahead right now let's stop counting right where we should have been saying let's count florida let's count was consonant let's count new mexico. some rosenberg is there of is there a fulton american the american electoral system is it just too complicated it is one of the most complicated locus is on the planet maybe it's time to simplify it. it's a. it's a tough question i mean our election system is so decentralized country. you know the listen let's let's hope that i mean as of today this is not going to be a close election and i think that that's actually a significant thing to keep in mind because it creates a structure an incentive structure for the president to do extraordinary things that kind of disrupt the current course of events and whether that was his well thought terry in internet intervention in portland tension in seattle over the last week or his statement last night yesterday about pot
