36. But why?

Sat May 30, 2015, 01:11 PM

May 2015

I agree with you, but let's make a case here. Why? Because Sanders got in earlier? Because Sanders is more progressive? Because Sanders is a US Senator? Those would be my reasons. O'Malley supporters will be calling for Sanders to drop out and endorse O'Malley, and they'll be making their points, too. O'Malley was a governor and the mayor of a big city. O'Malley is a Democrat, and therefore better positioned for the caucuses and primaries. And so on.

Why would he do that? DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #18

I always forget the power of DU! MineralMan May 2015 #20

I am sure the former governor has DU on his smart phone and is reconsidering right now./NT DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #22

Okay.. Cha May 2015 #35

As a Bernie supporter I don't see some of these recent 'supporters' blm May 2015 #37

How about "Vote for HRC and let the country slide right into fascism" zappaman May 2015 #66

Haha.. yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about.. right there. Lots of freakin Luck! Cha May 2015 #72

And what if this is NOT a Bernie supporter? What if this is just another trouble maker? jwirr May 2015 #41

And how would I know that? I have no idea who this guy is.. took him at face value. Cha May 2015 #50

If you take a look at the answers in this threads there is not a Bernie supporter who supported the jwirr May 2015 #52

yeah, I know.. and I posted what I thought of his stupid idea. Cha May 2015 #56

Thank you. Because as I stated here in another post IMO no one should drop out until the jwirr May 2015 #59

Been like that since the first primary battle here at DU. RNC ops running blm May 2015 #51

absurd cali May 2015 #24

Or Bernie could drop out...equally silly dembotoz May 2015 #26

Hey, if Ralph Nader had heeded your advice in 2000, and dropped out and endorsed Gore, Nye Bevan May 2015 #27

So is this the start of the Bernie/O'Malley wars? DCBob May 2015 #30

No this seems to be just another post trying to cause trouble. jwirr May 2015 #40

Yep. Seems so. DCBob May 2015 #42

O'Malley has the right to run if he wants, and he'd likely support Clinton if he was not running. tarheelsunc May 2015 #47

Series? MoonRiver May 2015 #49

That's absurd. Anyone who wants to run, should run. We're a Big Tent. nt MADem May 2015 #53

That's not what some said about Nader. But then they didn't say that about rhett o rick May 2015 #63

Perot got Clinton elected--he split the race three ways. MADem May 2015 #71

Take a hike son, take a hike. HERVEPA May 2015 #58

You probably have that reversed. I'm not sold on O'Malley, but he's much more electable and could Joe the Revelator May 2015 #62

More progressives in the debates the better. RichVRichV May 2015 #69

I had hoped this was a joke deutsey May 2015 #70

Not a joke, just a fake. nt scarletwoman May 2015 #73

Ah. deutsey May 2015 #90

That's ridiculous. The Dems need a strong bench, not a game of patty cake with only two candidates. Hekate May 2015 #75

If another candidate has announced and it would split the progressive vote then the non Democrat Thinkingabout May 2015 #76

I believe O'Malley is running for VP, to help HRC - his entire speech was what Bernie's been saying peacebird May 2015 #77

He was a big Hillary backer in 2008 oberliner May 2015 #78

Besides, they could team together and O'Malley be the VP candidate.... on point May 2015 #79

Not. I have reserved Julian Castro for VP...in my own little mind... libdem4life May 2015 #84

No, thanks. bigwillq May 2015 #80
