I'm impressed...but have to ask about O'Malley and his view of the TPP...as well as Citizens United vs FEC

Can he catch fire?

He says, if you are a Democrat, and someone asks you who you voted for, tell them, "I voted for YOU!"

Now, that's a conversation starter!

Get to burnin', O'Malley! We need a choice, not a primary!

If he isn't, he should be. Even if he doesn't get the Democratic nomination, he can put pressure on the nominee to be more populist and progressive. And if that happens, he will have served a useful and noble purpose in the cause of restoring and strengthening our democracy, and our nation.

The choices he talks about in the beginning of his speech may look like choices, but in the final analysis, they aren't really choices, they're imperatives. Our nation cannot survive if we make the wrong choices in all the choices he outlines, in spite of what the 1% believes, blinded by their consuming avarice and greed. History has shown us otherwise more times than we can shake a stick at.
