for President. I still don't understand how a single yell of enthusiasm, poorly recorded out of context with a loud supporting crowd, could cost a quality candidate for President so much.

I definitely respect Howard Dean, and his support of Clinton has no bearing on that respect.

And anyone who thinks it's cool to deride one of the best party leaders we've had in recent memory is probably not really in the club, anyway. A lot of newcomers have turned up lately, all full of piss, vinegar and insults, and they don't seem to know a doggone thing about events that have happened in our party over the last three election cycles. Not all of them can be rude eighteen year olds, I don't think. There might be something else happening up in here...

where they are all giving high-fives for the negative comments on Howard Dean's fb page. None of them seem to have noticed the 3,200+ "likes." Maybe the good Dr. Dean isn't being trashed quite like they think.

I agree that it is really sad how some feel the need to insult anyone who doesn't support their candidate.

They also pop up in interesting OPs. You may be correct. It would be easy to get away with bashing Hillary.

...had endorsed Bernie, a lot, and I mean A LOT of his supporters/fans would be doing this this this and this . You know it, I know it, and they know it. Outwardly, they are denigrating him, making fun of him, and drop-kicking him under the bus. Inwardly, they are seething with I'm not a scientist but even I can diagnose the symptoms of jelousis hypocrophobia. Rest assured things are going Hillary's way. George Foreman thought he had Muhammad Ali just where he wanted him too. We all know how that ended.
