174. Nah, he just said "my opponent."

Pretty sure he meant Martin O’Malley there, didn’t he?
And, by the way, your claim that he didn’t ever say the name Clinton in his campaign events is demonstrably false:

And that great start in Iowa led us to win victories in 22 states around the country, 13 million votes, over 1700 delegates at the convention and more votes from young people - black, white, Latino, Asian American and Native American - than Trump and Clinton combined.


Sounds like a certain pResident bragging about his Electoral College “win”...
