Letter to the editor: Al Gore, Jerry Brown could beat Trump

This might sound crazy, but I wish Al Gore or Jerry Brown would seek the Democratic Party nomination for president. I believe both of them could beat President Trump. They are both well known for being very knowledgeable about the environment, and are just what future generations need as we really need to tackle climate change.

I had the honor and privilege of having lunch with Al Gore in 1987 when he ran for president. He was a pure delight to be with. He was nothing like his stiff public image. He was relaxed, charming and personable.

I am going to try to contact Gore and Brown and urge them to run.
