>same way gore foolishly ran away from clinton

Nah. It's what dems did in the 2014 primaries when Obama's approval numbers were low, and all the ones who did lost. I was worried she'd go that route, but Hillary repeatedly gave props to Obama. But the same way she focused too much on Trump fear, she could only piggyback off Obama so much. She needed to sell herself, but she had a hard time doing that.
