In reply to the discussion: Talking about Sanders statement of a possible run in 2020 and positioning self. [View all]pirateshipdude
(967 posts)2. Totally agreed with all you said. O.K., almost.
O'Malley walked in too late without having built a base. His base was mostly Clinton, but could not achieve the status of viable. No traction. All that is easily fixed with what he is doing now. I think the man has integrity, honest, smart, politically savvy, family history and the like. I think he is a very viable candidate.
It would be easy to vote for, support and speak out for O'Malley.
It will be an interesting race, I think. We have a lot of strength in our party. I depends on if the active chaos/destructive force is allowed to split the party.

Yes, yes and yes. Clinton was formidable in her own right and Sanders colorful and bright.

Yes, but I do not know. There really are so many possibilities. Who knows what will come forward.

I thought I was clear in my OP that both O'Malley and Sanders appear to be creating their base.

All I know is is that I won't be a returning Sanders voter. I'll be migrating elsewhere.

Absolute garbage - Sanders is not why women are dying, Latinos are being deported or against gays
