    Howard Dean doubles down on Trump cocaine speculation

    “Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean refused to back down Tuesday from suggesting that Donald Trump used cocaine during the presidential debate.

    Mr. Dean raised the issue in a tweet when the Republican nominee repeatedly sniffled during the debate Monday night.

    “You can’t make a diagnosis over the television. I would never do that,” Mr. Dean, a physician, said on MSNBC. “But that is a signature of people who use cocaine. I’m not suggesting that he does.”


    Mr. Dean insisted he wasn’t suggesting that Mr. Trump had a cocaine habit. He then listed the symptoms that he said pointed to cocaine use by the New York billionaire.

    “He sniffs during the presentation, which is something that users do. He also has grandiosity, which is something that accompanies that problem. He has delusions,” Mr. Dean said. “He has trouble with pressured speech. He interrupted … Hillary Clinton 29 times. He couldn’t keep himself together.”………..

    Trump sure made a lot of noise with his sighs, gasping for breath and his “Little Marco”-like slurping of water…………

    But those sniffles…….and a very special kind of sniffles often associated with the use of cocaine……..was most noticeable………

    and today Howard Dean, a medical doctor called it as he saw it…….

    One cannot diagnose from TV……..not did Dean accuse Trump of being a “user”……….But IMHO those sniffles sis not sound like one might have from having a cold……………

    This is really funny. I suggested early in the debate that Trump snorted coke but it was only a joke and I don't think he did.

    But Dean's accusation is so fitting because it's the type of thing Trump does - fires off half-baked conspiracy theories in the absence of solid facts.

    So the chicken has come home to roost.

    If Trump was snorting anything, it was a crushed up sleeping pill. He was uncharacteristically boring. Either that, or he must have gotten ill from Typhoid Hillary's NYC flu pandemic.

    If Clinton supporters do not like it when the right speculates upon Clinton's health, then the Clinton supporters should not speculate upon Trump's alleged drug use.

    Nah, what's good for the goose is good for the gander -- or vice-versa. The problem being that this is a one-off for Trump with no history of trying to cough up a lung or face-planting if not for a cadre of guards/emergency medical technicians. Hillary does have that history.

    I agree that the nation's cutting-edge pharmaceutical industry is top notch. Whatever they doped her up with to keep her on her feet and coherent for ninety minutes was great stuff!

    Well, since he won the debate whatever he did he should keep doing it. Besides, just because Howard Dean uses LSD that doesn't make him an expert on cocaine.

    As I said in another thread, by the middle of the debate, I wondered myself if Hil might be on cocaine. It's really difficult for anyone to stay as composed and cheery as she was through the entire event.

    IMO Trump just didn't want to blow his nose on TV.

    this begs an interesting question. we feel free to demand public access to tax information and medical health reports, and we even feel like we should know if they are unfaithful, but we do not insist on any drug screens for our presidential candidates.

    why are we not entitled to insist they take a drug screen and publish the results?

    Cocaine? Puh-leeze. Hate talk...yakety-yak.

    I recognized immediately what was happening with Mr. Trump, as did many other people who suffer from seasonal allergies. It's THAT time of year in this part of the country. I've been a drippy faucet for about a week. It will pass, it always does.

    Excuse me while I go get a tissue and a Benedryl.

    At least a coke habit is curable, unlike Parkinson's.

    I think they dosed her make-up with No-Doz. That combined with the TENS unit they had strapped to her back so she could stand upright for that long kept her charged up for the evening.

    Inside sources told me that they had Hillary in an iron lung 24 hours prior to the debate.

    And righties DO speculate and LIE about Clinton's health so lefties can speculate all they want especially when it was SO HILARIOUSLY obvious, that SNIFFING!!! :) It was so LOUD and immediately noticeable :) :roflol:

    And orange skin certainly denotes an illness or "condition"......and his hair doesn't promote the idea that he has common sense or can honestly look at himself.

    - - - Updated - - -

    OH! GEE GOSH !


    YOUR inside sources...well heck it MUST be true!!!! (gag, puke, laugh hysterically))

    The nattering left wing nancys on the forum go bonkers over a sniffle but become apoplectic when someone points out their candidate has fallen and can't get up.
