Insights into Gore's meeting with Ivanka and her father

More on the meeting with Al Gore, Donald Trump and Trump's daughter Ivanka from the commenters at Ace of Spades:

Just because someone goes to a meeting doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Remember-- he's a business man, not a politician.

So while Gore is thinking he got a theoretical audience with the Pope, perhaps Trump is just thinking "Yeah, I should sit in on this meeting to see what the Idiot is going to tell my Daughter. That way if we argue about it later, I was in the room and know exactly what ManBearPig said."

My prediction - just like with Mitt, Trump is gonna schmooze Gore until he says nice things about Trump, then he'll drop him in the ensuing spatter of exploding lib brains.

Trump has repeatedly said that he has not changed his mind on these
issues and that the media is lying. I don't believe the WaPo on much at
all and I don't believe them on this regardless of what Babe Ivanka says
or does.

It's noteworthy that not only are we expected to believe WaPo here, but Al Gore's characterization of the meeting to them.

I don't think we need to panic unless we hear wobbliness from his EPA people.

"Winning an election is not the same as actually winning, if the guy who won is actually against you."

Ace of Spades has this to say about Donald Trump's meeting with the despicable Al Gore:

Ugh: Al Gore Just Had an "Extremely Interesting" Conversation About Climate Change With Ivanka Trump... and Donald Trump Himself
—Ace

Ivanka's a stone-cold liberal and climate alarmist (naturally), and she's one of Trump's closest advisers. He seems to trust her more than anyone else.

So it's a problem that she was meeting with him.

It's even more of a problem that Trump decided to show up for the meeting himself.

I hope there's enough people warning Trump on this.

Donald Trump continues to indicate that he might be willing to change his position on climate change, which he has long called a "hoax," the president-elect met Monday with former vice president Al Gore, who has become a prominent activist in the fight against global warming.
Gore was originally scheduled to meet just with Trump's oldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, who is not registered with a political party and has already pushed her father to adopt positions usually promoted by Democrats. Gore told reporters that after that meeting, he then had "an extremely interesting conversation" with the president-elect.

"I had a lengthy and very productive session with the president-elect. It was a sincere search for areas of common ground," Gore told reporters after spending about 90 minutes at Trump Tower in Manhattan during the lunch-hour on Monday. "I had a meeting beforehand with Ivanka Trump. The bulk of the time was with the president-elect, Donald Trump. I found it an extremely interesting conversation, and to be continued, and I'm just going to leave it at that."

I've got that queasy feeling coming on again. I knew we wouldn't win.

Winning an election is not the same as actually winning, if the guy who won is actually against you.

What idiots told other people to vote for this guy?
