So, O'Malley is against free speech? RobertEarl Nov 2015 #29

Not one bit of this is a free speech issue. Nt NCTraveler Nov 2015 #41

So another Bernie hit piece, because you have no issues to discuss, I see. n/t Dodo Nov 2015 #2

We've discussed all the issues already. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #3

Lurking. I have not seen one iota of an rational discussion about an issue of any type. Dodo Nov 2015 #4

O'Malley has more specific proposals on issue than any candidate. Here's his plan on immigration: FSogol Nov 2015 #5

Thanks! Dodo Nov 2015 #7

Anytime and welcome to DU. n/t FSogol Nov 2015 #9

Looking at one item you grabbed from O'Malley's site here... cascadiance Nov 2015 #17

So, making recommendations "based on rigorous and non-partisan analysis and market needs" is worse FSogol Nov 2015 #22

I think we had quotes like that from Obama supporting TPP as well... cascadiance Nov 2015 #24

You're welcome. Fawke Em Nov 2015 #19

O'M has had hit comments on Hillary for awhile now. Now it is Bernies's turn. riversedge Nov 2015 #12

Bernie had some disagreements with some of Obama's RW policies. So what? So did I. 99th_Monkey Nov 2015 #13

How much actual campaigning did Sanders do for Obama? Koinos Nov 2015 #21

Completely agree. n/t FSogol Nov 2015 #23

I don't disagree that O'M is a more mainstream Democrat 99th_Monkey Nov 2015 #27

Not just a matter of a litmus test. Koinos Nov 2015 #32

ABSOLUTELY playing well with others is a necessary evolutionary adaptation, and elleng Nov 2015 #35

Actually, Bernie is the one playing nice, and then getting shat upon for doing so. 99th_Monkey Nov 2015 #38

O'Malley is lying. Sanders wasn't trawling around trying to find someone to primary Obama. Vattel Nov 2015 #15

Obama's ex-aides feel differently. askew Nov 2015 #20

Obama's ex-aides didn't say that he was looking for someone to primary Obama, did they? Vattel Nov 2015 #28

Why look for someone to primary him... MrWendel Nov 2015 #31

He's simply trying to ingratiate himself ibegurpard Nov 2015 #25

He hasn't earned my trust, that's for sure. Vattel Nov 2015 #36

Too bad Sanders didn't foresee... Koinos Nov 2015 #26

Obama shouldn't have made those crappy deals with the GOP AgingAmerican Nov 2015 #33

Ouch indeed. And let's be honest, Bernie doesn't need anyone reminding people of this Number23 Nov 2015 #40
