2000: Al Gore won the popular vote; but a challenge to the vote count in Florida wound up at the Supreme Court which, in a very controversial decision to end the recount, gave Florida, and thus the electoral college majority and the presidency, to George W. Bush.
2001: President Bush withdrew the U.S. from the Kyoto Climate Protocol, an international agreement on climate.
2003: President Bush led the U.S. into an unnecessary war in Iraq.
2016: Hillary Clinton won the popular vote; but in a great surprise outcome, Donald J. Trump won three rust belt states by small margins, giving him the majority of electoral college votes and the presidency.
2017: President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement.
2017: President Trump flirts with war with North Korea.
Think how much would be different if only Al Gore and Hillary Clinton had been our presidents . . .
