While HRC/Bernie stick to their lanes, O'Malley casts himself as guy who works harder, mingles longer, always engages http://bzfd.it/1MeSoT7


____At every point this weekend — as Clinton and Sanders held to their carefully hewn strategies — O’Malley telegraphed, with trademark persistence, that no matter how bad the polls look, he is the candidate who simply won’t go away: who will work harder and mingle longer, who will shake more hands, answer more questions, propose more policy, be the most progressive and most aggressive — the candidate who will always engage...

...there was no greater show of the O’Malley method than inside the Phoenix Convention Center on Saturday morning — when activists aligned with Black Lives Matter, a social justice group, upended a presidential forum at Netroots Nation.

After the forum, O’Malley was out in the crowd. He hurried to tell a reporter that his response to the protest — white lives matter, all lives matter — had been a “mistake.” Then he ran around the conference center: He did an interview, held a roundtable, stopped by a forum, held another forum. And by 1:45 p.m., he was in his second interview of the afternoon — this one with the media outlet, This Week in Blackness.

...O’Malley was still working: He pushed out his interview with This Week In Blackness, wrote about the protests on Twitter, and generally promoted to the world an incident that, flattering or not, at least showed he was “committed to continuing the conversation.”

Even on Saturday evening, as Sanders was getting ready to take the stage in Phoenix, and as Clinton made her way to the Little Rock arena, O’Malley wore on — walking the halls of Netroots, answering more questions, taking more pictures, meeting more people.

1. Thank you for sharing the video of O'Malley's

interview bigtree. I like that he is thinking, engaging. He seems willing to listen to new ideas and incorporate specifics into his policy proposals.

2. He definitely has the energy for the job of POTUS!

And he turned a negative into a positive.

Very impressive!

3. *kick*

Then Vargas cut the event off. “Oh, man,” O’Malley said. “We just started.” He walked off, quietly chanting along with the crowd. “Black. Lives. Matter… Black. Lives. Matter.”

4. I've noticed it too

And posted it the other day. O'Malley feels like the only one running for president. He's trying to do it all (media, appearances, policy, etc). We'll see of it pays off.

5. A must read and must watch

His intelligence (intellectual and emotional) always shines through!

7. Thank you, bigtree!

O'Malley is tireless. He takes criticism to heart, remains humble, and doesn't respond to anger with anger. He genuinely likes people. He makes mistakes, learns from them, and then presses on. He is a calm stoic with a heart. Even in the most difficult situations, his character shines through.
