Cocaine sniffing? Shame on you, Dr. Dean

I'm sure all of us who watched the Presidential debate Monday night noticed that Donald Trump displayed some occasional sniffing, seemed somewhat tired, and most suspiciously of all, drank some water.
Not surprisingly, one of Hillary Clinton's surrogates has offered an answer to these unusual behaviors. Dr. Howard Dean, aka the screamer, former 2004 runner/dropout for President, combative drinker, party boy, and Democratic Party big mouth, has suggested that these, and other recent Trumpian behaviors, are quite typical of cocaine use and/or addiction.
Doctors, even liberal ones, are not supposed to diagnose, or even suggest, a diagnosis, without actually examining a person, even a person who is a Presidential candidate with views contrary to his or her own.
So far, even after being criticized for his suggested diagnosis, Dean is sticking to it.
Shame on you, Dr. Dean.

I really paid no attention to that remark. It was unprofessional and everyone knows it. He hurt himself with the remark more than Trump.

@LindaCPearson That's why people make them, no matter how ridiculous they may be.

The problem with statements like that, frivolous or not, true or not, is that they put the idea into people's heads and can often shade their judgment.

That was the cheapest shot yet. Are there no lengths into the muck that liberals won't go to? Oops, I forget liberals are wonderful peaceful caring people while only conservatives are evil and nasty.

The only thing the Clintons care about are our votes and their return to the White House.

You're so insulting, @JohnRiberts I may add about the caring, wonderful Liberals, they are the only ones that are redeemable, un-deplorables, the victims of society...

I haven't seen the debate yet although I did hear a bit about it. That was a stupid thing to say.

@LindaCPearson Exactly where is Dean known for his combativeness and big mouth? This is an honest question because he appears quite often on MSNBC and I've never seen that in him. Do you think the things Donald, Rudy and others said about Hillary were unprofessional?

It was but Dean is known for his combativeness and big mouth. It was most unprofessional of him to say that.

@LindaCPearson Mildred knows she's adorable. All cats do. 
I'm glad you like my take on your title. I plug my ears and sing "la-la-la" when the debates are on. They're not entirely enlightening. And I'm not voting for either candidate, both of whom I find unworthy. Just my humble opinion.

That's the effect of a wise man taking a deep breath holding back his tongue, that would have been caustic and seizure-triggering for Mrs.Clinton. Next time...
With my kids, I always take deep breaths to hold back what could have hurt them with my words. But in a debate like Trump vs. Hillary, it was a missed opportunity on laying out the truth Holt missed addressing.

Very true. Trump held back a lot but I bet he sure won't hold back the next time!

Which of course is a benefit of the doubt nobody would dream of giving Hillary, right? It was said before the debate that she didn't dare cough, laugh or "yell" but apparently there were no rules for Donald. Too bad even with the ridiculously low bar set for him he still lost in a landslide.

Yes, this comment was unwarranted. Dr. Dean also refused to back down, when people criticized him.
