Former DNC Chair, Vermont senator, and maverick presidential candidate, Howard Dean speaks with MSNBC about Bernie Sanders' calls for high-ranking Democrats Dannel Malloy and Barney Frank to step aside from their leadership positions at the DNC convention.

HOWARD DEAN: I think this a problem, I wish he would stop doing this. We have a streak of him -- he never quits, he is a tough guy, obivously we admire that in a politician. But this attempt to undo the rules, this business in CA of trying to get a federal judge to extend the registration.

First of all, they are changing the rules after the fact, second of all, they are not going to happen. So he is giving his supporters false hope that somehow this is going to change, this is all going to work out [for Bernie]. This is not what he needs to be doing at this particular time.

1. Oh Man! Thanks Sen. Howard Dean!

Wow! Coming form his own colleague from Vermont!

3. He's already under the bus, but I see it backing up and coming back for more!nt

[Thinkingabout]

2. Even today he is talking about winning in California, he knows Hillary will have the required

delegates before California votes are counted. He doesn't like the super delegates but tells his supporters the SD's are going to flip and he will win, he says Hillary has to have 2383 in pledged delegates. Even if he wins 100% in California he will not have enough delegates to make 2383. Sad, not based in reality.

5. I will be very surprised if Sanders wins here in California. HILLARY 2016

[Thinkingabout]

7. Kinda will not change the math already counted, but I will be glad to see the number of votes

and more delegates, seal the deal.

14. I've seen ONE poll amongst MANY rolling polls showing as of May 30th....

That Bernie Sanders will win California. Honestly, I'm not expecting an 18 point win by Hillary Clinton, but a solid win. Many of the news outlets have chosen to make this a horse race off the strength of one PPIC poll showing the race tightening between Sanders/Clinton. However, the methodology of this poll has come under question. It has unusual cross tabs which don't add up, a very small voter sampling (532), and a Moe of 5.7% IIRC.

Per Nate Silver, Hillary Clinton has a 96% chance of winning Ca. as of May 30th, 2016.

But, we'll see for sure next Tuesday.

6. He ain't winning California, its just more Bernie bluster.

By the time this is all over he will have some regrets.

4. About time

8. what a great patriot Howard Dean is.

[Rose Siding]

13. It's true. He's a great man.

9. K & R

[SaschaHM]

10. First, Feinstein and now Dean....

I love how they all just can't deal with Sander's crazy anymore.

[riversedge]

19. There comes a point

where all should speak out. Maybe not today but certainly after June 7th.

[Cha]

11. And, why is BS giving his fans false hope? Dean was very gracious

unlike the BS hot mess camp.

Thank you, rivers~

[DemonGoddess]

12. K&R!

[SunSeeker]

15. Sanders agreed to these rules when he decided to run in the Dem primaries.

To suggest he can change them at the end of the primary season--after he lost--is not only dishonest, but shows no sense of fairness.

[Sparkly]

16. I guess Dean is now a third-way sellout.

The zillionaires must have paid him a lot of money, or something.

[BootinUp]

17. He endorsed her early IIRC, his body has been under the bus

for some time now.

[riversedge]

20. So true.

[NastyRiffraff]

18. i love Dr. Dean

Always have, and this confirms it. The man makes sense. How refreshing! I just hope he can avoid the wheels of that bus!

[RogueTrooper]

21. Tha't's my man

Gov. Dean 'though. He was chair of the DNC (and delivering Democratic landslides) when the seat became free and Sanders ran.
