(135,425 posts)O'Malley is simply looking for a headline with this line of somewhat sour grapes, a way to break out of third place.
It's not the end of the world, it is what it is--people are talking about it, so from that standpoint, the "say my name" routine worked for O'Malley for a brief, shiny moment.... to some extent.
The attack won't draw any real blood because that "awful Debbie Wasserman Schultz" and her "DNC cronies" (quotes are purposeful here in DU land, because some people regard our very own party leadership as some sort of enemy faction) were the ones who INVITED Saint Bernie of Sanders into the "DNC Corporatist" Tent to run in our Unclean, Bankster-Corporatist-PTB Primary.
It's a good idea for the True Believers to not think on that part too hard.
