In reply to the discussion: Martin O'Malley 2016-- The right kind of hawk. [View all]VanillaRhapsody
(21,115 posts)On May 8, 2013, OMalley spoke before a trade conference hosted by the Council of Americas in Washington, D.C., where he was asked on camera about his perspective as a governor on the TPP and other trade deals pursued by the Obama administration. I would hazard to guess that a majority of us [governors] believe that free trade, provided its fair and thats always the rub is a net benefit for us. I believe that, at the risk of stating the painfully obvious, were all part of a global economy, OMalley said. So it would seem to me, that to the extent that we can be proactive in concluding agreements with strategic partners, geographically, philosophically, then that is a benefit to us.
So you see...he does not walk on water ....he is not the second coming. He is as inconsistent as the next guy... All of these people have flaws. You will NEVER find a candidate that can get elected that meets all of your criteria...
