2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Martin O'Malley needs to drop out now and endorse Bernie Sanders [View all]
Apologies to the O'Malley fans, but to be blunt he can't win period. The latest CBS/NY Times national poll was Clinton 48, Sanders 41, and O'Malley 2. Nearly all his votes would go to Sanders, which is desperately needed in such a tight race.
Then there's the debates. Bernie's message would be much better projected if it were just one-on-one with Hillary. O'Malley seems to go after Bernie a lot more than Hillary in the debates.
Please, Martin O'Malley. Do the right thing and endorse Sanders!

The OP did not drag O'Malley through the mud, did not vilify him, and did not pillory him.

There's no evidence that O'Malley voters would go disproportionately--let alone entirely--to Sanders

O'Malley hammers both Sanders and Clinton. Hard to know which way his supporters will go.

There's no need for O'Malley to drop out right now and endorse Sanders.
