Rachel Maddow Dazzles And Puts The Republican Debates To Shame At SC Democratic Forum
http://www.politicususa.com/2015/11/06/rachel-maddow-dazzles-delivers-candidate-gathering-2016.html
The Democratic forum in South Carolina was a huge success and much of the credit should go to Rachel Maddow for showing the rest of he media how it should be done.
Maddow started with Martin OMalley, and it was immediately noticeable that she intended to let these candidates talk. OMalley was asked about why Democrats are not being successful in the South; he didnt answer, so Maddow asked him the question again. OMalley offered up his notion that Democrats need to talk about their ideas, framing, and sticking to their message.
The discussion moved to Obamas rejection of Keystone. OMalley tried to ding Clinton for being late to opposing Keystone XL. Maddow reminded OMalley that the polling supported Keystone. Maddow asked OMalley if his progressive agenda went too fast too far. OMalley dodged the question about his legacy, so Maddow asked again what it says if OMalley left the state more Republican after his term ended. OMalley spun the question to a discussion of his legacy and his accomplishments in Maryland.
Maddow did a little lightning round, but her questions were smart and revealing, not the gotcha questions that Republicans complain about so often. A viewer question was asked if the draft should come back and war tax imposed. OMalley disagreed with the draft but supported a war tax and then launched into how Bush falsely led the country into war in Iraq and did not pay for it. Rachel Maddow asked about his viability and OMalley gave the stock answer about how he has come back from deficits in the polls with less time to campaign. OMalley took several shots at Bernie Sanders and painted him as not a real Democrat.

In case of NOT winning the nomination:
O'Malley: HUD
Hillary: HHS
Bernie: Attorney General
