In reply to the discussion: Martin O'Malley 2016-- The right kind of hawk. [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)77. He is openly and unapologetically opposed to the TPP. He is also FOR expanding SS, and increasing
benefits, totally opposed to the CPI/Cuts and privatization.
In fact he is not only excellent on the policies he has spoken about, he is clear on his support for and opposition to policies that are extremely important to voters.
So far, he is sounding very much a like a good Democratic contender for the WH.
However there are a few more things I would like know about him, so reserving judgement until I find out.

I am glad to hear he wants to expand SS and a $15/hr minimum wage tied to cost of living.

Sanders is still my favorite, but I am liking what I am hearing from O'Malley.
