In reply to the discussion: IMPORTANT.... From Howard Dean [View all]DFW
(59,681 posts)I think, "damn, THIS guy should have been our president." Nowadays, he won't hear of it, of course. Nor will Judy, which plays a big part of it. For all his running around the world, Howard has always been a family man, and very protective of Judy and their children. I'll bet almost no one on DU knows a thing about his family.
Howard has thought for a while that an ideal Democratic candidate for president should be around the age of 50 (Howard will be 69 in November). He thought this two years ago, as well, but supported Hillary because we didn't have the deep bench that we do now. He thought she had by far the best chance to win the 2016 election, and, indeed, she did win it. In the USA, these days, to actually take office, it's no longer enough just to win the election, as shown by two out of the last three presidents.
