If they were hoping MO'M was going to go wishy washy on Hillary they were sorely disappointed.

WashPost: “I think there’s a general interest in seeing him succeed Wasserman Schultz,” said Maryland state Del. C. William Frick. “He ran against Hillary Clinton, so he can’t be accused of being in her camp. After this weekend, no one wants someone who is hyperpartisan.”

Cheryl Everman, a Clinton delegate from Carroll County, said she and members of other state delegations agreed during Monday’s convention proceedings that O’Malley is well-qualified to serve as chairman.

“It’s because of his experience,” she said. “He was head of the Democratic Governors Association, he has a 50-state network and a progressive record. He also has that understanding of the common man that we need.”

O’Malley — whose handpicked successor as governor was defeated in 2014 by Republican Larry Hogan — said he would “gladly” serve as chair of the national committee if Clinton asked him to do so. But he added that “it’s really up to her — it’s her prerogative.”


Hmmm! He addresses the convention tomorrow night.

In any other year, I think he would have had a shot at the presidency. It just wasn't his time. He's experienced and a strong progressive. Also detests Trump in no uncertain terms. He's had no problem calling The Donald out as a fascist. If Hillary chooses O'Malley, she'd be making a good selection.

I love the meme, btw--Trump is Putin's lapdog. So apt!
