Discussion: Trump Camp Slams Howard Dean's 'Desperate' Cocaine Accusation

Not only have they not explained the sniffing–chortle–but Trump actually denied that he was sniffing. Lie, as 80 million viewers can testify. You don’t lie unless you’re hiding something. What’s he hiding? Medical records please.

(Actually, I wouldn’t press this for the time being, since there are so many other low-hanging fruit, but Dean has done HRC a service. It will make Trump think twice, if not thrice, about opening his mouth on the subject of her health again.)

Not just that—it will make him self-conscious about breathing!!

And we wouldn’t want to do that, right ?

Come on ! Trump’s grievance machine appears to have been at 11 for the past 30 years. No slight, imagined or true, forgotten. Just listen to him !

Of course, after all the RW dipshit speculation about Hillary after her pneumonia (can a Trump Teabagger even SPELL that word?), from the endless sniffling and mental fog I saw him exhibit during the debate, I seriously believe Donald Trump may be in the early stages of ebola. That orange pallor does not bode well as far as health is concerned. But as his internal organs liquefy, he need not worry about losing his brain or his heart, since he has neither.
Is it irresponsible to speculate about such things? Why, it would be irresponsible NOT to!

So if I have this right, Donald Trump’s advisors are being quoted as saying “Donald Trump … sniffs coke”. By all means, advisors, keep up the strong defense.

Last I checked, presidential campaigns were supposed to keep the negative focus on the other candidate. Not the possible candidate from 2004.

What, you mean we can’t both chortle at him AND defeat him?
We are not Republicans or anchors at FoxNews. We can actually do multiple things at the same time.

Unless other HRC supporters/surrogates pick up the “sniffing coke” talking point, and unless Howard Dean keeps discussing it, I think the worry is unwarranted.

As long as he thinks he actually has to deny this - SCORE!

Point: Dean.

He always does.

Leaving us to guess. I guess coke. And I guess his tax return would show indebtedness to Russian oligarchs.

Now, I’m very concerned. A lot of people are saying that denial is one of the trademarks of a coke addict. I’m not saying this, mind you, but a lot of people are.

Takes one to know one, Howie, but i agree.

Dean doesn’t have to. He made his statement. Now it’s Trump’s people keeping it going.

Which has been completely quiescent so far.

But don’t take my word for it – just check Trump’s twitter feed.

And they haven’t let us down yet = they will talk about it.

It doesn’t matter whether or not he deserves it. This late in the game, if you are going to appear on all cable news shows and be the ardent HRC supporter, you should know better.

What matters is that Donald had an absolutely horrible night, and this serves as a stupid distraction for him and his followers. And Dean had the audacity to defend his comments? Even if he wasn’t joking, he should have just said it was a joke in poor taste (Colbert made the same joke giving him an easy out!). He’s so much smarter than this (or at least I thought).

“Was it Crank?”

I have heard that a large percentage of his supporters are meth addicts. I don’t remember where, but I’m pretty sure I heard it more than once, so it’s definitely out there and going around. And he did seem really cranky. I don’t know. Something going on there.

A) I don’t think it’s a big deal
B) This will cut both ways. The more vigorously the Trump camp denies cocaine use, the more people will become aware of Trump’s very odd sniffing, which doesn’t help him.

Governor Dean went straight to the gutter and was nothing more than a sad distraction in a desperate attempt to stay relevant.”

I get that. But it’s far easier for the perhaps less observant to see that for what it is when they don’t also see a doctor rather wildly speculating that maybe he has a coke habit.
