WTF is Howard Dean doing on MSNBC? Kate Snow is griling him about his "Trump on coke?" tweet

[catbyte]

last night. I thought it was a joke, but apparently Howard Dean didn't & she is making him look really bad. It's Guiliani territory as far as conjecture about the candidate's health. HOWARD! SHUT UP!

1. I'm not concerned at all.

[msanthrope]

16. But I am concerned about your lack of concern about the concern. nt

[Stinky The Clown]

2. Quite to the contrary. Plant the seed.

Like LBJ: "Call the son of a bitch a pig fucker and let him deny it."

[Kingofalldems]

3. Exactly.

[mainstreetonce]

14. That seed has been out there all year.

It is obvious in every rally speech. That seed needs sunlight.

[susanna]

33. ...and water. n/t

[mnhtnbb]

10. Precisely right. All Dean did with his tweet was make an observation and ask a question.

Put that a$$hole on the defensive about EVERYTHING.

[uponit7771]

19. +1

[JoePhilly]

23. Agree.

[MyNameIsKhan]

4. One of the candidates will run executive branch and drug test should be mandatory

[MyNameIsKhan]

5. We cannot afford a person in influence of drugs with nuclear trigger

[Thrill]

6. Why? You have to play it as rough as they do

Its a legit question.. is he on coke?

[catbyte]

9. It just sounded like Guiiliani opining that Hillary had "a disease." I'm all for counterpunching

just as hard, but Dean obviously hadn't thought this through. He didn't have a good argument. He didn't sound good. And this isn't concern tolling, lol. I don't think this will hurt anyone other than Dean.

[FSogol]

12. Isn't Dean a doctor? Not the same thing at all. n/t

[unblock]

7. wait... someone named *snow* is asking about cocaine?

[Stinky The Clown]

8. Okay, THAT's funny!

[BlueMTexpat]

15. Best response!!!

[KelleyKramer]

24. thread winner!!!

Nice catch!

[Satch59]

11. Agree, no need to go there...

We don't need to go as low as Trump & Co... Be the bigger man Dean...

[Warpy]

13. Oh, FFS! Anybody who went through the early 80s

thought the same thing! I lived in a tourist trap then and every wait person sounded exactly like that.

[tinrobot]

17. I think Trump needs to take a long form drug test.

I mean, some of the top people are saying...

[Iliyah]

21. How about a real life physical?

t-rump is not healthy both physically and mentally. It could be the October surprise.

Personally, I think he is on drugs.

[geek tragedy]

18. I guess no one will vote for Howard Dean in the fall nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

20. Doesn't Dean know that Trump already received a clean bill of health from his doctor?

DOCTOR FEELGOOD!

[greatauntoftriplets]

41. My doctor says this creep looks like a drug dealer.

[SunSeeker]

22. Trump brags about only sleeping 2 hours a night. Sure sounds like a cokehead to me. nt

[sinkingfeeling]

25. Many people who watched the debate thought the same thing.

[dembotoz]

27. was at a debate party last night and yep folks say that how he looked with the snorting

i thought it was a cold or maybe a sign of being rude...but i sort of live under a rock....

[TSIAS]

26. I always thought Howard Dean was better than Giuliani

Call me a concern troll all you like, but there's no reason to stoop to their level. There are ways to imply Trump was on illicit drugs without saying it directly.

[still_one]

28. Is Howard running for president again?

[bmstee01]

29. Word on the Street

One of my dear friends bartended at a club Trump frequented with tons of models about 10 years ago. She said there was a lot of Coke passed around. She never SAW him do it...

[tonyt53]

30. This stuff is why we voted against him when he ran for the nomination.

[exboyfil]

31. He thinks nothing about wholesale frisking without probable cause

people of color.

Pee in a cup Donald.

[drray23]

32. have you been around cocaine users ?

I have been in my youth thought not using myself.

I had the exact same reaction when watching the debate. I have seen people exhibiting exactly this behavior after they had taken a hit. Constant sniffing, feeling of grandiosity, etc....

Maybe Trump was just nervous or sick but whatever it is, its not usua. I dont recall him doing that in the primary debates or at the excerpts they show on tv off his rallies.

[mainstreetonce]

35. Yes he does it at every rally speech.

At the primary debates,it was mostly all quick comments.

[backscatter712]

34. Call it payback for all the medical conspiracy theories thrown at Hillary.

To paraphrase LBJ, I don't care if it's true that Trump was "powdering his nose" for the debate. I just want to hear him deny it!

[truebluegreen]

36. Hey! It's out there,

it's part of the conversation now ( h/t Cokie Roberts) and it would be irresponsible not to speculate ( h/t Peggy Noonan).

Heh

[salin]

37. I think he is trolling the trump campaign and their surrogates (and the media)

by imitating the specious claims of Guiliani and others questioning Hillary's health back at the beginning of the month.

[skylucy]

38. I've noticed Trump sniffing at his rallies. Didn't he sniff at times during primary debates

also? And he gets by on a couple of hours of sleep a night? The man is half wacky and acts hyper...He twitches and has a motor mouth. And he had cotton mouth last night. Just strange and enquiring minds want to know.

[roamer65]

39. Howard is a MD. I think he was making a correct diagnosis.

[catbyte]

40. He himself said it would be unethical for a doctor to diagnose someone, sight unseen. Then he

proceeded to do just that. Not his finest moment.
