thanks for including the tweets. Helps people to know there are other MO'M supporters beyond those of us here.



J. Martin(see tweet) contributed to NYT: 'In his own speech, Mr. O’Malley, the former governor of Maryland, took a veiled swipe at both Mr. Sanders and Mrs. Clinton on the issue of guns, but he saved most of his unnamed criticisms for the former secretary of state.

He criticized NAFTA, the trade deal that passed under President Bill Clinton, and he repeatedly praised Mr. Biden.

But his speech hewed closely to the standard message he delivers on the campaign trail.

Mr. O’Malley, who has criticized Mrs. Clinton for changing positions during the primary and who has described his record as governor as one of “actions, not words,” said that “a weather vane shifts its position every time the winds change. Effective leaders do not. I know who I am, I know what I believe, and I am willing to fight for it.”

“We need new leadership,” he added. “New ideas. Someone with the courage to stand up for what’s right — even when it’s not always popular.”'

but not the issues he mentioned in tweet, 'brought crowd to feet raising Trump, barbed wire fence/Statue of Liberty.'

He really is a good guy and his supporters are the best, most well behaved, on point members on this battle ground.


Hat tip to the O'Malley team.
