Howard Dean: Losing Four Special Elections Isn’t a ‘Bad Sign’ for Democrats
BY: Cameron Cawthorne June 30, 2017 5:17 pm
Former Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean on Friday downplayed Democrats losing four special elections by saying that it was not a "bad sign."
MSNBC host Katy Tur pointed out that Democrats have not won a special congressional election over Republicans this year, and asked Dean whether they should be focusing on policy agenda ideas and trying to fix Obamacare.
"I don't think the special elections are a bad sign," Dean said. "Here we take four very Republican districts and come within four or six points of all of the seats where we were behind 20 in the last election, so I'm not concerned about that."
"I think the special elections have actually worked well for us, proving we can in fact win in red districts, but just not quite as red as the ones we've been in," Dean added.
Dean's diagnosis of the Democrats losing the special elections is similar to that of Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez, who tried to downplay the losses because they were Republican districts.
"I know folks were a little disappointed earlier this week. There were some elections in Georgia and South Carolina that we didn't quite get to the finish line on, but you know what folks? Those are beet red districts," Perez said last week at the Texas AFL-CIO Convention in Houston.

Dean’s most famous quote: “Yeeearrrrgh!”
I think he should make another run at it.
Howard Dean is a special kind of cra-cra, trust me I lived through his reign of terror.
How-Weird Dean actually is nutty enough to believe the crap he spews.
“HEEEEAWHHHH! HEEEEAWHHHH!!”
Dennis Miller has a custom Dean Scream doorbell LMAO.
Don’t ever forget Dean’s unhinged screaming campaign speech which ended in a crescendo with the hilariously macabre “Dean Scream.” That was the end of his campaign for POTUS, he was finished after that.
He really is an unhinged, foolish wack job. I hope he keeps speaking out for the Rat party. It’s all good for us.
Four special elections in four safe Republican seats. So no, it’s not a sign. If they had lost four elections in safe Democrat seats then that would be a sign.
The dwindling donations are perhaps a “bad sign” for the democrats.
Demonrats are all about being the opposite of Trump.
So, he is always ‘Winning’.
Therefore, the demons are always ‘Losing’.
Those special elections were a measure of the effectiveness of their 7 month long campaign against Trump and against us. The democrats were weighed and measured and found wanting.
Losing the Presidency was a bad sign and as we know from Election Night Porn the dims weren’t feeling so good that night.
The true “bad sign” for DIMS is that ever more people are seeing them as the lunatics they are. HAHAHA.
Right. If you're losing a football game 28-0 you can still come back and win, but it usually doesn't happen.
Return of the kitten strangler ...
You can come back from a 28-3 3rd quarter deficit....at least if your quarterback has a MAGA hat in his locker! :)
Well, then Dems are all for fake self esteem so even losers can feel good about themselves. One of the few cases they practice what the preach...;-)
Dems...keep on thinking that...you lost, loser...
Of course not, the Democrats intended to lose the last four elections that is why they spent all of those $millions
YAAARGHA!
