50. 'This is not what we need.'
Thu Jan 28, 2016, 10:44 PM
Jan 2016

We cannot let one of these Republicans standing on the debate stage right now win the election in November. We will roll back the progress we've made under President Obama’s leadership, and risk putting this nation on a bad detour.

The Republican candidates continue to make a mockery of what it means to debate. They don't discuss the issues anymore. They simply see who can yell the loudest, who can insult the greatest amount of people, or who can give away the biggest tax breaks to wealthy individuals and big corporations. Some don’t even show up because they're too scared to take questions from Megyn Kelly.

This is not what our country needs. This country needs someone with a proven record of fighting for the middle class. This country needs someone who believes in the dignity of every individual. This country needs someone who can bring new leadership to Washington to build on President Obama's progress and put an end to the gridlock in our nation's capital.

Help make sure Governor O’Malley is in the White House, not one of these guys on stage.
