There are some moments in politics where you watch a candidate giving a speech, answering a point in a debate, or doing something dumb in general – and realize that you just saw a political career end.
In 2004, we saw one of those moments; I remember commenting to my wife at the time, “You just saw his career end, right there.” Turns out I was right; Howard Dean ended up dropping out of the 2004 Democratic primary after winning one state in the vote – his own Vermont, now best known for the daffy old Bolshevik, Bernie Sanders.
But Dean wasn’t content to just go quietly into the night. He may not be screaming anymore – at least not in public – but he’s not making any more sense than he did then.
During a recent appearance on MSNBC’s “The Beat” with host Ari Melber, Dean revealed how little he knows about the founding principles of our republic – and so did the host:
