Howard Dean: We Need to Be 'More Humble, Stop Making Fun' of Trump
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/30/2015 6:24:10 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

This is fodder for WSJ columnist James Taranto's "everything is seemingly spinning out of control" file. Howard Dean has declared that we'll have to be "more humble" about Donald Trump's prospects and that he will "have to stop making fun" of him for now.

What's got Dean doing a 180 on Trump? Not just the latest polls, which include one showing Trump trouncing Jeb and Rubio in their home state of Florida. Above all, it was the experience of viewing, on today's Morning Joe, a stunning focus group of New Hampshire Republicans who were uniformly and enthusiastically pro-Trump, saying things like "honest; Reaganesque; one of us; we could be a proud America."

Dean sees handwriting on the wall. Quinnipiac poll with Trump ahead of Bush,Walker, and everyone else is background noise.

The focus group comments were stunning.

Don’t think anybody will see Bush stick his head up out of his fox hole
to answer questions about recent polls, especially the FLA poll.

Bush is bunkered down.

Trump is or has passed the flashpoint.

Dean is a vile human but always a politician...

This is an attempt to get the MSM to STOP talking about Trump... He is absolutely sucking ALL the oxygen out of the room AND the longer he’s out there the more people he is exposed to...

Hey Dean... scared say scared!

It is dawning on them that Trump can take their LIV herd away from them. The LIVs vote based on celebrity. To date, the MSM have been able to built cults of celebrity around the 'Rat candidates. But Trump is already a mega-celebrity and there's no way they can pump up the wooden, lame, shrew, Hillary, to that level of LIV-perceived celebrity.

They were, to a man, stunned. They should be stunned about how out of touch they are.

Not necessarily 'scared'... recall these "elitists" are also the ones in office during the NSA scandal, multiple govt websites hacked, multiple privacy breeches, IRS scandal etc. These "elitists" have their claws on enough data to sift through, yielding to pause as they may yet stumble upon something suitable to their narrative to use against Trump or any non-conformers (like the Supreme Court?).

In general election polls the Dems seem to be hanging on to their 47%. Trump needs to break into the Reagan Democrats and some others in the squishy middle to overtake them.

In Trump, they know they're dealing w/ nitroglycerin. That's red white and blue nitro---b/c everything out of Donald's mouth is a Fourth of July salute to "let's make America great again."

Reaganesque, even, in his love for country.

Face it--- Americans have had it w/ hate-America pols like the WH ding-a-ling always trashing their country......

I would not be surprised to learn that even Democrats are disgusted w/ the greedy Hillary lying-in-wait like some low-rent crook so the Clintons can get their grubby hands on the US Treasury.

Honest?

A democrat does not know the meaning of that word.
