Howard Dean said that none of the leading Republican presidential candidates look presidential.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Dean, who was a presidential hopeful in 2004, had a disappointing showing during the Democratic Iowa caucuses that year. His campaign might be best remembered for the &#8220;Dean Scream,&#8221; after Dean gave an impassioned speech when he finished third in that year&#8217;s Iowa caucuses. Dean was behind eventual Democratic nominee John Kerry and his eventual running mate John Edwards.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article also notes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>&#8220;Biden is the president and he&#8217;s acting like a president,&#8221; Dean added about not campaigning in Iowa. &#8220;I think Biden has gotten a bit of a raw deal from the mainstream media. People want to focus on his age. You know, I&#8217;ve been around a long time; this is the most extraordinary president on domestic policy in terms of job creation, bringing high tech to rural areas, which is badly needed, climate change.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>One reason Biden wasn&#8217;t in Iowa is that the Democrats&#8217; Iowa caucuses are scaled down this year. Instead of choosing their presidential preference, Iowa Democrats are caucusing to discuss policy and to choose delegates.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After a while, you begin to wonder what universe some people live in. I don&#8217;t expect to see a lot of campaigning from President Biden this year. It has become obvious in the past year that he is losing his battle with dementia. I have not posted pictures of some of his recent episodes of disorientation because I believe it is cruel to post them, but it is also cruel to put a man with obvious dementia in the presidency. I also suspect that there might be an abrupt switch of the Democrat&#8217;s 2024 candidate sometime this spring. Also, I find it interesting that Howard Dean is commenting on looking presidential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, ABC Channel 5 in Cleveland posted the following headline: Howard Dean says leading GOP candidates don&#8217;t look presidential I&#8217;m stunned.
