How about Bernie AND O'Malley?

[Fearless]

Geographic benefit, fairly similar on most issues, both are very competent speakers, both have extensive experience.

Bernie for president

O'Malley for VP


What do you think?

Any Republican duo going to beat them?

[Todays_Illusion]

1. I believe O'Malley is a libertarian running as a Democratic.

I hope Bernie is looking at a Western, U.S. VP candidate.

[Andy823]

5. That's bull! nt

[deutsey]

12. Indeed. n/t

[Todays_Illusion]

14. what is nt? a signal you made the comment not thinking?

[slipslidingaway]

24. n/t means there is no text below the subject line, been in use for over a decade. n/t

[Todays_Illusion]

29. Thank you. I worship at the alter of brevity. nt

[FSogol]

15. LOL

You really should look up the term "libertarian" if you are going to throw that charge out so often.

[Todays_Illusion]

16. Here is what O'Malley and Chafee are about, they are both libertarian backed and they are running

on only the conservative version and definition of a liberal,not a actual, Bernie Sanders kind of traditional liberal.

Example, Conservatives constantly attack liberals/Democratic for "political correct speech" a term they created for just that purpose. What did O'Malley do. Gave a speech about politically correct nonsense. lol I nearly barfed.
What Democratic candidate has ever ran for office on "politically correct speech."

That is how his campaign and Chafee's and Jim Webb, with his flag/southern Democratic traditon bs speech, and he seems to have disappeared since that one, will be conducted.


They are to provide the attack talking points the real Democratic camdidates, but with Hillary the Republicans simply use the U.S. Congress and the taxpayers money for political attacks. Who can fight that when the entire news/propaganda is so supportive of conservatism.

[FSogol]

17. LOL. Sorry, but you are seriously confused.

You also failed to give any indication of how O'Malley is libertarian and even added Chaffe (also not a libertarian) to your strange stream of conscious non-explanation. Good luck.

[Todays_Illusion]

18. Oh you are so sweet, thanks. Nothing like gobbling the propaganda all the while pretending you are

an independent thinker. LOL

[elleng]

22. Wrong again/still.

Martin O'Malley:

1. Ended death penalty in Maryland
2. Prevented fracking in Maryland and put regulations in the way to prevent next GOP Gov Hogan fom easily allowing fracking.
3. Provided health insurance for 380,000
4. Reduced infant mortality to an all time low.
5. Provided meals to thousands of hungry children and moved toward a goal for eradicating childhood hunger.
6. Enacted a $10.10 living wage and a $11. minimum wage for State workers.
7. Supporter the Dream Act
8. Cut income taxes for 86% of Marylanders (raised taxes on the rich).
9. Reformed Maryland’s tax code to make it more progressive.
10. Enacted some of the nation’s most comprehensive reforms to protect homeowners from foreclosure.

Mother Jones magazine called him the best candidate on environmental issues.

32. Mother herself is tainted with the libertarian brush. I am comfortable with my opinion. n/t

[elleng]

21. Wrong.

Goodbye.

[Raine1967]

31. Welcome to DU…

some friendly advice:

[Raine1967]

30. What? Is this a joke?

You use that word, libertarian, I don't think you know what that word means…

O'Malley is about as far from being a libertarian as Joe Lieberman was a liberal.

[Cleita]

2. It could happen if Bernie and Martin agree to it. n/t

[sibelian]

3. I like the idea. nt

[hifiguy]

4. I am all for it.

I have nothing but respect for O'Malley.

[Andy823]

6. I have no problem either way

Sanders/O'Malley,or O'Malley/Sanders.

[Cheese Sandwich]

7. If Bernie is nominee then we should have a woman for VP

O'Malley is not a good choice because it will be




too easy to identify his policies as leading to police abuse and riots in Baltimore.

[floriduck]

8. Geographically speaking, would

Wendy Davis make a good cabinet member pick. I'm not sure if she's a Hillary fan or a true progressive. It was just a wild thought.

[Fearless]

13. She had endorsed Clinton this week.

[smilingwen]

27. Not Wendy

She endorsed Hillary yesterday

[NorthCarolina]

9. I believe Bernie has already made a choice in his mind at least, and

I for one will trust in whomever he himself selects to be on board with his agenda for America.

[restorefreedom]

10. i like them together

but i worry about not including western/southern geography on the ticket, if either of them were to be the nom

[CharlotteVale]

11. Works for me.

[Todays_Illusion]

19. How about it? For me if Bernie adds Marshmallow O'Malley or Chewy Chafee, I'll vote for Hillary.

Even adding the two of them together you get -0-.

Why should Bernie add a zero to his campaign.

[Fearless]

25. VP is chosen after the primary

[beam me up scottie]

20. I like Martin but I'd rather see a Sanders/Warren ticket.

It would set her up to be the first woman president in 2020.

[moobu2]

23. Nah.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. I'd be OK with that - I like O'Malley.

He's my second choice after Bernie.

But could there be a problem with two white guys from the East?

[taught_me_patience]

28. If Bernie won the primary, wouldn't he want a moderate to try to appeal to independents?

Why would he team up with a ideological clone that's polling at 1%? This is a pretty bad idea... a completely losing ticket that would struggle to win 10 states, including a struggle to win California.

[LostOne4Ever]

33. I'd really like to see Warren on the ticket but I wouldn't complain about your suggestion at all nt
