  After watching what happened with Bernie and so on more recently, my belief is it was not an organic thing, but rather the DNC intentionally iced Dean with the complicity and assistance of the media.

    To me it seems like the DNC has kept with the strategy of pushing the candidate that they feel has the most cross-party broad appeal. Both parties used to do that to a point. Republican’s really began to pivot hard in the late 80’s-90’s.

    Now we’re at the point where there the GOP has embraced a cult of personality and anyone with half a brain or any moral fiber has either abandoned or effectively been exiled from the party. If Democrats were going to secure any more of those votes, they would have already done it. The third way Democrats are DOA whether they want to accept it or not.

      My cousin and I drove 6 hours to one of his rallys right before the Pyawww thing happened.

  It’s wasn’t the scream, it was the concerted gas lighting from the media that sunk Dean. It could have been anything. The establishment didn’t want him, so they manufactured a reason to end his campaign.

    Yes, but it worked. Trump actually did awful shit, and it did not. That’s what I can’t get past.

      GW Bush killed a million people and the media treats him like a sweet grandpa.
