And as Politico puts it: “The run-up to his launch here could hardly have been worse, complicated in recent weeks by unrest in the city where he served as mayor and the unexpected early momentum of another Hillary Clinton challenger: Bernie Sanders…. who so far has captured the imagination of progressives looking for a Clinton alternative.”


Then there’s the recent unrest and riots in the city he once led over the death in police custody of Freddie Gray, an unarmed black man picked for what seems like a minor (or nonexistent) charge. “On Saturday, protesters blaming O’Malley for ‘police brutality’ continuously attempted to interrupt the speech with shouting and whistling,” Politico reports.

As an Independent? Errr.... no.
