O'Malley walks back Clinton 'criticisms.'

“I like Hillary Clinton and I respect Secretary Clinton. I didn’t come here to talk about Secretary Clinton. I can tell you that in any of my dealings with her, or with the president, they have always been decent and straight up and honest with me. I also know for a fact that that foundation’s done a lot of good work to help a ot of people that are in need around the world–and I’ll leave it to them to answer more specific things.”

— Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D), hoping his VP chances haven't been dashed, quoted by Bloomberg, during a visit to New Hampshire.

6. Cant the 1% come up with more convincing methods to coronate Hillary

Or maybe the 1% who control the third-way wing of the democrat party thought up the idea to throw in another third-way democrat as a way to give the illusion to the true progressives of the party that there is a challenger to Hillary and that our complaints of her coronation aren't valid.

I was fully expecting Malley to give an illusion of competing against Hillary and then walk it back in a vain attempt to convince us true progressives that any criticism of Hillary is bad for the party as a whole.

My advice, the 1% that controls the Hillary wing od the party needs to come up with better strategies for her nomination, as this one could be seen for what it is a mile away.

8. If you want a candidate to take on Hillsry then tell that candidate to get moving.

It is not the party's fault that Hillary is doing well in the poll.

Instead of complaining about the party you should tell the people you want to see run to get moving.

and if you have a wuestion for the one percenters you should ask them, not me.
