Howard Dean weighs in on Bernie's run

[leftcoastmountains]

We all know Dean endorses Hillary. But he compliments
Bernie.

-HOWARD DEAN: There’s certainly an insurgency. An attractive candidate is basically calling out the Democrats, much the way I did in 2004. Bernie is a real phenomenon, not just a quirk of the polls.

1. Yes, HOward, I can see how it seems to you he almost can do what you did.

by the way Doc, you gotta work on that backhand...you telegraphed it.

[merrily]

2. Dean is pulling stuff out of his ear--and he knows it. For example:

DEAN: With Bernie, what you see is what you get. That’s very attractive. But at the end of the day, people are willing, if they believe there’s a strong leader in the race, to support that leader. Because they want a president who can win and beat the Republicans, and a president who can watch out for America in a perilous world….

As a Democratic Senator, I don't know of a single bill or amendment that Hillary wrote that got passed. And things she did write, like her two attempts to get a flag desecration bill passed, were more caving to Republicans than beating them. Bernie did write bills and amendments that got passed. And they were not Republican.

Billary wrote and tried to pass HeritageFoundationCare, but failed. Bernie wants to pass Medicare for all.

When it comes to even trying to fight Republicans, much less beating them, I'll take Bernie over the hundredmillionaire triangulators any day of the week and twice on Tuesdays.
