(3,111 posts)Remarkable thing that.
Wonder when we as Democrats will respectfully submit that we are on the same side and generally want many of the same things?
From your comments, I guess you believe O'Malley would do better in those first 90 days. I've always liked him. Would love to see him in the administration. Hasn't been able to catch fire in a way that is necessary to mobilize the forces that need to be mobilized.
If he would accept it, and it made sense strategically and personally, would love to see him as V.P.
In any case, thank you for your example.
I personally trust where Bernie is coming from, trust his leadership, admire his ability to mobilize people, and so far I'm banking on that. I feel confident he would get as much done in the first 90 days as any of the other candidates, and particularly compared to Hillary, who is so far the other leading contender.
But we can perhaps respectfully disagree with that, or find other common ground. In any case, thanks.
Not sure the rolling, laughing head does very much to move us forward however.
