(62,683 posts)You're so right that Bernie is so different -- he 100% walks his talk and let's you know how he stands on every and any issue. Besides Trump "puke", he's the only one not counting on funding or PACS, and he can't count on Trump's $ billions, either. He's done remarkably well.
I read somewhere, a while back, that O'Malley was kind of like Hillary (who I grew to distrust and dislike in 2007) so I didn't pay attention to him. But you and a couple of others have pointed out his accomplishments and achievements, and have to say, "hmmmm". Unfortunately, for now anyway, he's under the radar.
Joe has disappointed me in SEVERAL of his votes, plus just pissed me off on some other things he's done, but my belief and conviction that he's a good man, will let us know how he feels (which he's been unable to do while serving as VPOTUS) and I think some of the votes I disagree with can be explained, but I will support him if he decides to run, and if not, I'm loving Bernie.
Bottom line, I will be the first one voting for WHOEVER gets the nomination, whether I have to hold my nose or not.
