Tell me how you feel about a Bernie O'Malley Hook Up for President/VP [View all]

Last edited Thu Nov 19, 2015, 07:32 PM - Edit history (1)

This could be a WINNER TICKET! People concerned about Bernie's Age and who he would pick for VP would be immediately solved. If THEY Together Could Join Up against Hillary. IF they could Work Together as an Attack Team.

Here's the O'Malley article from the WaPo that started me thinking. I realize that a Senator from Vermont and a Mayor from Maryland might seem Too Northeast in orientation when we need other States of the USA to be a Viable Ticket for 2016..but, given the Repubs "Clown Car" and their current Frontrunner's Crazies...WHO Cares about Politically Correct States to Elect a President?

I love Bernie as President for his Wisdom & Expertise in US House and Senate... and O'Malley's Guitar Songs featuring Johnny Cash, Pete Seeger and others. Plus he's quiet and soft spoken which balances Bernies Fire and Passion.

ON EDIT: I'm reading the replies...Not a "Hit and Run Post"...I just wanted to read what people think....

This is the NEW 2016 Election.....ANYTHING GOES! Trump vs. Carsen? Who better to fight against that pair...

Here's the WaPo article about O'Malley:


They were with O’Malley for Hart’s ’84 campaign. And they are with him now.
