O'Malley Whines That He Couldn't Get Sanders To Join Unsanctioned Debates

[stupidicus]

HC supporters indict Sanders for failure to break the rules.

update at 11.

John Amato:

We can all thank Debbie Wasserman Schultz for the lack of Democratic debates and the ones she's scheduled for Saturday nights, but why would Bernie bother debating O'Malley in an unsanctioned atmosphere? Martin is so far behind in the polls and is fishing for anything he can catch. Why would Sen. Sanders waste his time at all with O'Malley?

Now if Donald Trump or Ted Cruz called for an unsanctioned one on one debate with Bernie, I think he'd cheerfully jump at the chance.

Maybe Martin O'Malley can convince some of the GOP candidates that are floundering in the polls to debate him.

1. unrec

[stupidicus]

2. I'm devastated

lol

[MeNMyVolt]

4. Seconded.

[Hortensis]

51. Thanks, Stupidicus. Hit Bernie NOT wanting more debates

all you want. I for one appreciate your once again discrediting the claims that Bernie is the victim instead of a perpetrator.

Given the riots here on the subject, it certainly can't be said enough, can it?

“I asked Senator Sanders” to do more, said Mr. O’Malley. “Senator Sanders didn’t want to do more debates either. He kind of liked where it is.”

3. I see you guys are like this across the board. n/t

[MeNMyVolt]

6. IMHO, not all of them.

Just about 20%, and they're loud. Some great SBS supporters on this board. Unfortunately, they're drowned out by some folks who had a Ron Paul fling awhile back.

[one_voice]

9. Just came across another one in another O'Malley thread...

I don't get why everything has to be nasty. I have not posted a negative word about Bernie, Hillary, or O'Malley. And until now pretty much stayed neutral on supporters on both sides. But the only people that snipe at me or are rude come from the Sanders side. Every. Single. Time.

I post positive threads about all the candidates. Never negative. NEVER.


Unless you consider this comment negative:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=950703 I don't.

[MeNMyVolt]

12. No, i don't consider that comment negative.

While they're are some HRC supporters who like to tweak noses, I think most of that is due to what's coming from the other side, for months now. Just look at how MOM supporters get mauled when their candidate has the temerity to step out of (their) line.

[stupidicus]

15. I'd care what you see why?

obviously you're wholly incapable of addressing the material, but then there really is no disputing any of it.

I suppose you can pretend that you did.

[one_voice]

45. Why would I care to read past your subject line?

obviously you're wholly incapable of acting like anything but a rude child.

Have a happy healthy new year.

[stupidicus]

46. my my, the one with the initial rude response

attempts to pin the rudeness on their better like a common projecting hypocrite

who made you post your rude and insulting remarks?

well done

[zappaman]

5. zzzzzzzz

[stupidicus]

18. that was almost intelligible

so that means you're improving

maybe you'll make it next time

meanwhile that O'Malley whined and HC supporters sought a character indictment of Bernie over refusing to break the rules, remains unadressed and wholly intact as the facts in this matter.

thanks

7. Does Sanders "whine" DNC is picking on him? Whine? Really?

[stupidicus]

19. sure, his kicking their butts and making them give his stuff back

is just like O'Malley whining about his unwillingness to join him in rulebreaking

[seabeyond]

23. He looked like a fool. He looked dishonest and disingenuous. He looked like he failed and certainly

not presidential, taking money from the very voters he is asking for a vote.

Yes, I get it. Sanders people think he looks strong. He didn't. It was a fail all around and lasted way longer than needed to. Hurt him way more than it needed to. But, obtuse, he thought he was accomplishing, instead of failing. Once he realized his fail, he started back pedaling. Hence the need to move on. Which was a given from day one. A one day story, instead of two weeks of questioning his integrity he is running on.

[stupidicus]

24. pretty hilarious stuff -- like a Hillarian would see his kicking butt as anything else but

a sign of weakness and a character flaw.

Granted, it wasn't near as brave as braving sniper fire, but close

[seabeyond]

29. He stole. He threw a tantrum. He made threats. He complied. Whatever....

[stupidicus]

33. he didn't steal anything then filed a law suit

which he would have prevailed on, just as I have here

[seabeyond]

35. He stole, didnt comply. DSW locked him out, then he filed. He then complied, she opened up his data

[stupidicus]

38. link to where BS stole anything?

WHAT'S FALSE: The data were accessed over a lengthy period; the data were "exported" or otherwise extracted; the data were of high value to the Sanders campaign. http://www.snopes.com/bernie-sanders-campaign-data-breach-controversy/

oh that's right, you were done before you even started here, no?

meanwhile, the assertions that O'Malley whined and Bernie kicked butt remain wholly intact and unrebutted

[Hiraeth]

39. An enployee stole and was fired for doing so. Meanwhile incompetency and negligence let a firewall

down and STAY DOWN for months. But, you spin it, girl.

[seabeyond]

42. Where is the spin? You confirmed.

[99Forever]

50. Sometimes it's wiser to...

...keep ones words to yourself and be thought the fool, instead of stating them publicly and proving it to all.

Please proceed.

[rhett o rick]

41. Gloat while you can, but the DNC is selling you down the river and I bet they will blame a loss by

HRC in the General on Ralph Nader. You are trusting the oligarchy to save our gains in social justice issues.

I guess Prisons for Profits is ok with you. I guess the militarization of our local police is ok with you. These are things that the Oligarchy establishment has brought us. So vote for them and you vote for more of the same.

[seabeyond]

43. Gloat? It is calling out the projecting and namecalling. Gloat really is not the word you are

looking for.

[NCTraveler]

8. The spears have really come out for O'Malley.

I said the week before last that the Sanders campaign leaving message was going to be a disaster. It's flat out scorched earth now.

[farleftlib]

11. That's hilarious coming from you

That's some spin you've got going on there.

[NCTraveler]

14. Hundreds of posts attacking O'Malley today.

All from one group. There is simply no spin there. And if I have offended you in some way.

[stupidicus]

16. thanks for conceding he whined

and that HC supporters sought a character indictment over Bernie's refusla to break the rules

[Andy823]

10. unrec times two

[stupidicus]

17. Now I'm doubly devastated

so I'll capitlize the "LOL"

[rbrnmw]

13. Martin O'Malley has been a lifelong member of the Democratic Party

he deserves way more respect than this.

[stupidicus]

20. hardly

has he been a whiner all of his life too?

[rbrnmw]

25. Has your candidate?

Martin O'Malley isn't suing the DNC.

[virtualobserver]

31. no, he's just complaining that Bernie wouldn't break the DNC rules with him.

[stupidicus]

34. meaningless garbage

he did do this though

complain in a feeble or petulant way.

[NuclearDem]

21. This is fucking hilarious.

People who were not two days declaring all-out war on the DNC have all of a sudden become party loyalists and declared "it's the rooolez!"

[stupidicus]

27. This is fucking hilarious

the very same people who'd call for his head for rulebreaking, demanding that he break the rules -- or else

[NuclearDem]

32. Revolution!

...just don't break the rules, okay?

[stupidicus]

36. meaninghless garbage and false comparison

apparently

complain in a feeble or petulant way = not breaking the rules

pure genius that is

what will you do for an encore?

[rbrnmw]

28. I know

strange isn't it?

[elleng]

22. stupid icus,

Martin O'Malley does not WHINE, he states FACTS clearly.

[rbrnmw]

26. Yes he does

[stupidicus]

30. my my, playing the "stupid" card

doesn't rebut the fact that he complained/whined/"complain in a feeble or petulant way." about Bernie's refusal to break the rules.

[elleng]

37. Nothing petulant about it,

he's stated clearly and firmly and many times that he wants more debates. I don't recall that he's referred to sanders' 'refusal to break the rules.'

Do you have children? If so, you may know what whining REALLY is. If not, too bad.

[stupidicus]

40. who care about the other times he's done so

other than somebody who wants to change the subject because they can't really undermine in any meaningful way the authors characterization of "whining".

Gee what's next, the proper impression was that he was appreciative of Bernie's lack of cooperation in the rulebreaking?

Between the verbals and non-verbals, to say that it looked like a whine is not unreasonable, just annoying to his supporters

[comradebillyboy]

44. Sanders has no good reason to accomodate O'Malley on this

I feel bad for Martin but this is not his year. Sanders is Hillary's big challenger and O'Malley can't make a dent. Bernie is only helped by debating Clinton at the moment and gains nothing from debating Martin even if the rules allowed it.

[stupidicus]

47. exactly

and it was obviously an attempt to get some kinda dig in on Bernie, like he somehow shares the blame for the debate debacle

[Autumn]

48. Maybe he needs some cheese and fruit to go with his whine.

I think it's time for him to realize he's done.

[stupidicus]

49. me too, but tenacity is a cruel master

that often serves as an introducer to its cousin masochism
