He famously yelled his way out of the 2004 Democratic presidential primary. Now, he’s returned — and he wants control of the Democratic Party back.
Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean has announced a bid to head up the Democratic Party, a post he held during the Bush administration, in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s stunning victory in Tuesday’s election.

The party’s liberal wing has begun jockeying for power since Hillary Clinton’s defeat, arguing that her loss could be attributed to her reluctance to fully focus on economic inequality and tougher Wall Street regulations.
The Vermont governor mounted an insurgent primary challenge in 2004, running on a more liberal platform than eventual nominee Sen. John Kerry.
He served as Democratic National Committee chairman from 2005 to 2009. Interim chairwoman Donna Brazile is supposed to end her position early next year. Without a Democratic president to pick her successor, the committee will hold open elections for the post.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders announced his support for liberal Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison in an Associated Press interview Thursday morning.
Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley and Rep. Xavier Becerra of California are also rumored to be considering running for the position.

ARE YOU FRIGGING KIDDING ME!!! THIS LOUD MOUTH MORON IS NOTHING BUT A JAIL BIRD! HOW CAN HE RUN THE PARTY WHEN HE CAN’T EVEN BRIDLE HIS OWN TONGUE AND RUN HIS OWN HOUSE!

TIRED SAYS, IHOPE THEY STAY IN THE WHITE HOUSE TILL 2024, IT WOULD BE GREAT. I HOPE I’M ALIVE TO VOTE FOR THE 2ND TERM. CONGRATULATIONS.
I guess the dem party was not corrupt enough to win, so they are bringing in those who are more corrupt.
No one is more corrupt than Mrs. Clinton. Republicans could see this but the dems were too blind or refused to believe it even with the proof staring them in the face. We finally got a President who stopped her from further destroying our Constitution and our country by continuing Obama’s legacy. This was truly a gift from God and the answer to our prayers. God bless our country and our new President.
The perfect pick for the job ????
He is the perfect man for the job.
Please, in two years we have another election, and we need him to win more senators, representatives and governors.
He is the perfect weapon the mass destruction.
He is our secret tactic, and we need that you guys stop talking about it. Let be unpredictables….
He and the like him are going to help us to change the country back to a Great America.. but we don’t have to warning them…
Let them be themselves….
Because they era like fishes in a pond… they get cough by the mouth… Let them be…. please…
Thank you…. and ….. ssssssshhhhhhssssssss!!
Any body is better choice than Ahab the Arab from Minneapolis!!
If they put him in there, they haven’t learned anything……
Ha, they never do learn anything. they are insane as the description of insanity is that you keep doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
Can’t imagine anyone taking this clown seriously even the “Liberal Left”.
PT Barnum was right,”there’s one born every second”.
Your Right. You shake your head and you wonder, are these people really that stupid, Oh and you know that someone was paying those people to riot. Other wise why bother. He needs to clean house and then he needs to stick it to them every time they come up with some asinine program he needs to shove it back down their throat until they get. That is right until they get it.
Did they let him out of the looney bin or did he escape?
This A—— needs to go to pasture for good!!!
It won’t happen with Donald Trump president! All those Dems are so damn corrupt! thank God we have God Donald Trump for our president! Get used to it boys, because he’s going to change this whole damn thing like Night and day! The dirty, karups swamp will be drained!
This is the guy that promoted race baiting and class division and used his reputation as a former Marine to gain momentum. I have had too many friends of color in my life to sit idly by while this socialist progressive anti-American pushes division any further
Howard Dean. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! What A Clown.
Put that Dean on the damn circus where he belongs! stupid ass clown
Stay out of Texas we don’t want you here. All that adide, Hillary Conceded. Once you concede you can’t take it back. Suck it up and get over it.
Just what they need another Loud mouth he is part of the race bateing machine, they never learn.
He was idiot before and still is. Boy the Dems are scrapping the bottom of barrel. If they put this nut in charge
We need a third party !
Who gives a f*## LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Hillary has made Bitch a proper pro noun. So remember this when she recoups and starts shooting off her mouth. Warren is a psychopath. She calls Trump a not fit for prime time, who is kidding who
Marie you are more of a potential Presidential Candidate then Hillary “WAS”. My wife and I have 4 daughters and 3 granddaughters, 1 son and 7 grandsons. When this country puts the right women on the ballot it will be great, we all know Mom always knows best when it comes to humanity.
Charles your right. When you put the Right Woman on the Ballot, we will know it. I would have loved to had a Women in the White House and I would have voted for her. Hilary just makes you cringe.
I’ve trolled over to a liberal step just before the 7th and told them h robbinghood Clinton was not the right one to be the first woman president !!! But one day we will indeed have a woman as president but not this one !! As Trump will win !!! Now we need to jail everyone involved with Hitlery gate even the soon to be ex first black president !!!
It sounds like the Democrats didn’t learn anything from Tuesday’s election. The tide is shifting from liberalism and socialism to a sensible direction based on freedom and opportunity. Here in Kentucky Democrats election day was a day of defeat. The Republicans gained control of the state’s house of representatives for the first time since 1921. This was a major gain. Going into the election the Democrats had a 53-46 advantage over Republicans. Now Republicans have a 64-36 advantage over Democrats in the state house.
Way to go, Kentucky..! Now see if you can do something with Mitch..!
So far, the Dem leader has been a bad choice. If the Party can’t get honest leaders, they need to break up the Democrat Party and a new Party should be established. It must have Good Morals, Honesty, Integrity, purity in background checks. Qualifications should be of the highest priority. There has been enough dishonesty in the current parties….Dem and Rep. Perhaps it is time for a 3rd party.
outlaw both parties!!! let’s try to see if our elected Representatives can pledge their efforts to the People in their districts or states. TERM LIMITS-TERM LIMITS=TERM LIMITS .
We have many useless 3rd parties what we need are only honest citizens running for office !!! No I’m not against Trump but many others who’s actions jeopardized the elections this year more than any other year !!! We came close to losing our way this year as all the other candidates only cared about winning at any cost !!! And we need a few new rules to prevent that from ever happening again !!! Just one idea for this is all money donated will go into a election pool that will buy equal time for each candidate no matter what party and a small fund for those who aide their chosen canidate to run the campaign HQ and staff !!! Even the rich robber baron will half to follow this law all money goes to a master fund to be devided equally and all news agencies most give equal time as well but show no favoritism to anyone !!! Unlike this year !!!
And how do you propose to referee the “no favoritism” you propose? Maybe the Secy General of the UN?
Follow Queen Rage Issues with Howard (the duck) Dean. How the devil did this idiot EVER get licensed to practice medicine!?!?!
I highly recommend the delusional John Kasuck for head of DNC!!
I wonder if Paul RINO and/or B*tch McConnell are interested in applying for the spot as they were both sucking up to Obama for the past several years!
Trump ran a con game on his supporters, he will not deliver on his promises to bring back jobs because of global competition for lower wages all over the world ,especially south of the border in Mexico. Why would any manufacturer pay $28.00 per hour American wages plus outrageous benefits when they can produce the same product elsewhere for $4.00 per hour. Do the math folks, it’s does not make good business sense to pay livable American wages anymore because the American worker has overpriced himself (herself) right out of the labor market and there is no way this is going to change because to a business the only thing that matters is their bottom line and the name of that bottom line is called profit.
Well, it was either buy into Money Laundering with Hilary or get a Business man. You really don’t get it do you,. If we can get jobs back into this Country at a decent Wage. People will be spending their money because they are going to make more than a minimum wage. I tell you what. The Car Motor Companies were paying their Janitors $75.00 an hour to sweep the plants. I was making probably about $7.50 an hour, my Husband was making probably $12.50 an hour and I was just horrified when they talked about how much money they added to the price of a car just because the could,. This was years ago. A Business man is interested in getting everybody back to work again. getting an economy running so that there are not 44 Million workers working for the Government and only a few thousand Americans working to pay that 44 Million Government Workers Wages. So many of them were just sitting around playing games on the internet. No Obama has played the Con GAme on us all, I am sick and damn tired of tightening my belt and he goes on vacation. Its going to take a while, but it will get turned around.
Hey h robbinghood Clinton troll go get a real job !!! Your group lost live with it !!!! As for Trump we will see how wrong you are !!!
Most survives of baby never thought the Persian king Cyrus would let those pesky Hebrews go back to Jerusalem !!! But he did !!!!
Just as Trump will keep his word !!!
Looks like the whole demarcation party is just a bunch of liars and crooks.The only way they can win anything is by lying and cheating
Mmmm, the sweet smell of an executive order by President Elect Trump will take care of anything that the congress and senate what to do, if it does not coincide with, (The Vision of Making America Great Again.)
Many years ago, a friend of mine and I were talking. I had written an article in our local newspaper and called Howard Dean an idiot. This friend was a staunch Democrat. He mentioned to me that he had seen my article. I asked him what he thought of it. His answer was “Well I agree with one thing, Howard Dean is a pure idiot.”
This is totally laughable. I hope he does come back. It just makes it much easier to defeat them again.
Bill , did you really think things would get better with hitlery ? Give Trump a chance . The liberals have Our Country a disaster . The past almost 8 years have Destroyed the economy , and to boot the Debt is close to 20 TRILLION ! That guy who claimed the debt being 11 Billion was ” Irresponsible ” but never mentioned the debt again once he got in . Why ? Because he Loved Spending Money that Was Not His To Spend , and boy did he proove that . They sell us out every chance they get so they can have Big Government Control over the people. Just watch and see , Trump will get us back on a Healthy Economic tract .
It is true that the Democrat party needs to be seriously changed. The first thing they need to do is get rid of all those socialists that have taken control of the party. They need to return to their grass roots and American values. They need to embrace the work ethic that made America great. They need to learn to care again about everyday people. They were once the party of the working people and now they have become the party of the freeloader. The GOP has its flaws but at this point it is better than what has become The Peoples Socialist Democratic Party of America.
Dean is such a jerk.
Maybe – just Maybe – the Socialist Democratic Muslim oriented Democratic party has just learned that the good ole USA is not just another country where the people will put up their crap on and on. There ain’t no free lunches cause someone sooner or later has to pay the bill. THE SILENT MAJORITY HAS SPOKEN – now lets back our new President and help him turn this country back to the principals that helped the USA to become the land of the free and home of the brave.
I have read all the comments and yes I agree with all of them Howard dean is nothing but another Dem. failed politician. Warren is a loud mouthed race baiter and liar. Ellison well his loyalties are to Islam when he refused to take the swearing in on the Bible and demand a Koran – good – go to Iran please. So correct the Dems. learned nothing with their corrupt leadership – they say “we represent the perople”, but this is not the party of FDR or JFK. It is the party of McGovern, Mondale, and Clinton and their mafia. Look, Podesta, Mook, Brazille, Wasserman-Schultz were liars and corrupt party hacks and the last great democratic president was Truman. Liebermann was good as well and they deep-sixed him, all his friends in the senate for years like Dodd. They would NOT support his run as an independent. I felt sorry for him. Easily the Dem. party as well as the Repub. party are very corrupt and more so the Dems. so yes a Thuird Party is needed with the demise of the Democratic Party and the Clinton machine. Hell, she did NOT even take Arkansas. Why? Well they know how corrupt the Clintons are.
Now we can finally “Make America Great Again”! The rioters are rioting because they know that the party is over. We, the people who have been paying for their free for all should have been rioting that we don’t want them to pay for it anymore! When Obama stepped into office, not once but twice was our time to do it. But no it would have been “racial” had we done it right? Was a dem in the past, not anymore. Law and Order, and let’s begin with a curfew for young people out of control
What a dork, to join the dorks again.
ugh. liberal democrats should start earning a respected reputation, and this is one way to NOT to accomplish that. of course, only the young and dumb, or those wanting a parasitic existence will never change their minds because they’ve been steeped in the ‘dumbing down of America’. those, my friends, and the protesters against mr. trump – those that probably didn’t even vote, and wanted HRC because she’s a woman. THAT is pretty scary to me.
GOD BLESS MR. TRUMP AND KUDOS FOR STANDING UP TO ALLLLLLL OF THE NEGATIVE MEDIA THAT CONTINUES TO PLAGUE THOSE OF US THAT WANT THE TRUTH YET NEVER HEAR IT (EXCEPT FOR ONE STATION, MOST OF THE TIME)
This dude or should I say dud is a nut case. He proved that he was crazy many years ago. All that hollering and screaming that he did. He needs to be in the crazy house. No good, no good, no good.
Does anyone notice these protesters are a bunch of young kids that should be home doing their homework. Most of them probably do not even know what they are protesting against. Democrats……you lost and the Republicans won. Get used to that and go get a life no matter how young you are.,
Those blind followers of blind leaders will not understand what the truth is as they have been spoon fed socialism for all their school lives !!!! they have been brainwashed to think their way is the only way !!!!! They need detoxing !!!
GIGO, same s***t each time by Dems, Bring out the Old Blood for Dems & they wonder why they lost big time
Do same for 2020???
Have 4 years to f*** it up again OK Dems.
Don’t worry folks .when they have to dig this guy out of Riga mortise. you know their grasping at straws. their finished.
this is what you would expect …a bag of hammers …lol
I am eager to hear what this “doctor”, the proctocraniogist of liberalism has to say! Let him talk enough and he will likely expose the Democrat’s two century long deception of their persecutions that started and led to the Trail of Tears, the establishment of the Ku Klux Klan after the Civil War, who used the honorable Confederate Battle Flag as one symbol to terrify peoples of color, sing negro ministers to lead their flocks into the white supremacist’s led efforts for Birth Control to exterminate the nation’s “negro problem” (as stated by Margaret Sanger), who suppressed Women’s Suffrage, who denied negro recognition for heroism following WWI and WWII and who so opposed the 1964 Civil Right Bill that give President Johnson the accolades for something he and the Congressional Democrats so opposed that it only passed because Republican approved it in greater numbers than Democrats!
Democrats have only gained favor with blacks for increasing entitlements in hard times often created by Democrat policy! Present Administration proves my point! Dean heading up the DNC would be perfect to ineptly write a book, “Lie-fest, A Fabled Democrat History”!
Great choice democrats. please, please,please let Howard dean be your party leader. His wheels fell off years ago and he won’t just drive your party into the ditch but over the cliff.
A note to democrats, Republicans did not endorse riots and criminal behaviors when Obama took office. Now you are encouraging Democrats across the country to “stand up and fight” against President Elect Donald Trump, who won the election honestly. You would rather have a corrupt individual in office: what does that say about you! And you wonder why President Elect Trump was voted in?!?! are you blind?!?!?
Dems need a person who has demonstrated honesty and integrity…Harry Reid has some time now….haaaaaaaa!
They can’t actually be dumb enough to let that idiot anywhere near the DNC but if they are then are government will be Republican led for the next century. Yeah, do it.
Due to the bellowing screeching of the Hildebeast and her rabid pack of followers, the ‘Sleeping-Family-Giant ‘ was finally awakened in time to vote to rid US of the greatest threat we have ever suffered; and, we thank Our Loving, Forgiving GOD for Trump & Pence who will lead US to safety.
GOD has blessed America again due to our fervent prayers to HIM for HIS HELP.
I guess it’s time to revive the loudmouth fossils within the Democrat Party again. I wouldn’t mind seeing him lead the Democrat Party, more from the standpoint of the ongoing comedy it would bring than anything else.
I hope who ever becomes it understands that we lost not by fluke, but because we have alienated the very group the Democratic party was founded to represent. Working class America. Our elitist talk does not reach them, our lofty statements don’t either. Most people have many commitments in life and don’t have time or resourses or the knowledge skill set to grasp what sound bites we are spewing. How about details?? The why and consequences. Fabrecated or Xagerated news (FOX) does this very well. Guess who’s side won.
