136. Martin O'Malley is a fine man.

May 2016

I respect him.

If you appreciate his candidacy, it should tell you, without doubt, why Hillary Clinton is the worst possible candidate our party could have decided to back.

I'm confused that our party didn't pick a decent human being like Martin O'Malley. No, we can't have O'Malley, no we can't have Bernie Sanders, we get Hillary Clinton.

And people wonder why there is a general air of somnolence when it comes to voting.

The only votes Hillary Clinton can drive to the polls are the ones against her. She's never going to be President, and I don't care if she is running against a sack of dog doo doo. Democrats in the party have warned you, we will vote for her despite the fact that we are tepid at best, and when she loses, we will say it.
