He’s a guy talking to people. But there’s no actual Dem primary in New Hampshire, no delegates will be awarded (bc NH Dem party broke DNC rules bc they want to be first more than they want to win), so it shouldn’t be covered as anything other than guy got fleeced by consultants https://t.co/2osYxXicUk

Dean Phillips is torching his reputation https://t.co/8g9pMMH24q

Dean Phillips’ ill-considered primary challenge is sliding downhill like a ride on a crappy New Hampshire sledding slope — all rocks, furrows, and bare patches. He’ll end up with a pain in his backside and a sore jaw from clenching his teeth, but meanwhile he’s spreading those afflictions to the rest of us Democrats. And for what? To get attention from bigger millionaires and bored media horserace touts… while enshrining his legacy as a would-be spoiler and general sad-sack?
Dean Phillips is running 37 points behind “other” and he’s the only other non-chakra person in the race. https://t.co/pmoD6281kE
