I was busy reading this:
Martin O’Malley racked up $339,200 in loans putting two kids through college. He wants to lighten the load for others.

Sanders/O'Malley 2016?

I am also going to say this, and I know it won;t be very popular — O'MAlley had a better record of getting things done. Bernie doesn;t have his name on too much legislation.
Also, and this is a personal bugaboo: Bernie has done nothing to change the democratic platform in all the years he was in congress and the senate. He never wanted to be a Democrat. And now he is running as one.
The thing is, I have always been a member of the Democratic party.
I could live with O'Malley/Sanders. and yes, I know he is WAY the hell behind in the polls. I personally find O'Malley's ideas far more achievable.
I think that so many people showing up at his appearances is amazing and really great. He has amazing ideas and worthwhile ones like free education. and single payer, However, every time I hear his great ideas, I think of this post I wrote a few years ago.
We can't logically just disregard this mess we are in, toss it out as it were and start over. We would have to have a time machine that takes us back to the Carter/Reagan election to make all this happen.
So, from where I sit, I feel like O'Malley has a plan to further turn this mess around. With Clinton I am not seeing it. With Snaders I see us throwing everything out and pretty much starting with something completely different (which is great on paper, but I am not seeing how it can be applied.) and with O'MAlley I see see a way to further changing the nation to a more progressive direction.
There I said it. I fully expect a flailing. **ducks bricks**

You have to love the people who have been leaving the party because the GOP has moved so far to the right.
