Likely 2016er Martin O'Malley re-iterates opposition to TPP after fast-track drops:

Martin O'Malley @GovernorOMalley
Proceeding with #TPP would be a mistake. Job #1 must be raising wages, not promoting policies that would depress them.

Martin O'Malley @GovernorOMalley
We must end bad trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership that hurt wages and ship jobs overseas. #EconForAll

O'Malley /Biden 2016 rather. Thanks .

31. Pass on the Biden part

Surely in 2016 the Democrats can put forth a ticket of two individuals who did NOT vote for the ongoing epic travesty of the Iraq War.

16. Martin O’Malley Criticizes Hillary Clinton for Flip-Flopping

He touted his own credentials on immigration and same-sex marriage



Former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley had some sharp words Thursday evening for Hillary Clinton, who in the first week of her campaign has taken a more liberal stance on same-sex marriage and immigration.

“I’m glad Secretary Clinton’s come around to the right positions on these issues,” said O’Malley, who will likely challenge Clinton for the Democratic nomination for President. “I believe that we are best as a party when we lead with our principles and not according to the polls.”

“Leadership is about making the right decision, and the best decision before sometimes it becomes entirely popular,” he continued.

18. 'Leadership is about making the right decision, and the best decision before sometimes it

becomes entirely popular'. How correct he is on that. I like his positions on so many of the issues.

I imagine he'll be announcing his candidacy soon.

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. He knows what diplomacy is

[sabrina 1]

17. Excellent straightforward responses on the important issues. I hear he is definitely considering

joining the race. I hope as an actual Presidential Candidate.

I like his position on expanding Social Security.

Love that he is speaking out against the awful TPP.

Sounds like a good Democrat to me and a good candidate for the WH.

[cali]

20. I agree. It makes me, well, actually a bit hopeful.

[sabrina 1]

23. Yes, me too!
