GOVERNOR OMALLEY: Because I have a track record of actually getting things done, not just talking about things.>>

O'Malley might be an effective leader himself, but that's a pretty f%$ked up thing to say. Firstly, because it's absurdly false. It was a Bernie Sanders bill that reformed veterans health care last year. And just last week, the Postal Service backed off of a plan to close 82 more mail processing plants thanks to pressure from Sen. Sanders. Secondly, and probably more importantly, because it's both carelessly and knowingly false.
If O'Malley wants to rise above and stand out, he needs to do something different, in my opinion, not just prattle off the same kind of campaign horseshit that everyone else does.
