In 2000, Al Gore, was unable to make up his mind about which role he wished to play in his debates with George W. Bush, so he looked shifty and inauthentic, changing from arrogant to patronizing and back again. He had the better arguments, but he lost the “debates” (and the election) nonetheless.
2000年，戈尔没有打定主意在与小布什的辩论中扮演怎样的角色，他看起来诡诈而不可靠，一会儿高傲，一会儿屈尊，如此反复。他的论点强于布什，但还是输掉了“辩论”（以及大选）。
