Thank God the American people had the sense to reject this piece of shit, back in 2000. That seems an odd description of an election in which the citizenry gave Gore 50,996,582 votes to Bush's 50,456,062. (Source: National Archives) I realize, of course, that other factors came into play: the Electoral College, winner-take-all rules for assigning electors, whatever the hell went on in Florida, recount efforts, and Bush v. Gore. And I understand why Bush, not Gore, moved into the White House. Still, it strikes me as a stretch to cast the election as a national rejection of Gore.
