They said he only left the stage at NN because his time was up and he and Sanders can't be on the same stage unless it is a DNC debate.

O'Malley isn't perfect. But, I have such respect for a politician who is willing to engage and learn. Plus, he really is putting out great progressive policy and has such a long record of getting progressive policy enacted.

I hope when he delivers his criminal justice reform proposal/speech that people will hear him out. He really deserves more attention than he is getting.
