Now that Joe Biden has dropped out of the race would you consider supporting Martin O'Malley if he emerges as a viable alternative to Hillary Clinton?

But, if for some reason the world as we know it has fundamentally changed and Martin O'Malley over takes Sanders. Yes, I will definitely support him.

My order:

1. Bernie Sanders
2. Martin O'Malley

I would gleefully vote for both of them in the GE, but will be voting for Bernie in the Primary.

3. Hillary Clinton

She's not going to make it through the primary anyway, so I'm not particularly worried about her. She reminds me of that extremely wealthy woman that tried to win the governorship of California, Meg Whitman, outspent her opponent something like 5-1, and still lost. Linda McMahon had the same misfortune the several times she ran for the Senate, as well.

It's not that they are women. Tammy Duckworth had an enormous groundswell of support for her Representative campaign, and in her Senate campaign, she will have it, too. Tammy Baldwin had some hurdles as a lesbian to win her Senate seat, but she did.

Do you know what those two wonderful women have in common? They are LIBERALS.

I don't know how many ways to spell it out to the DNC with Wasserman-Schultz screwing everything up and supporting Republicans over Democrats that the majority of Dems want to vote for Dems not recycled Republicans in blue.

Allison Grimes? Yep. Failed. Not because she was a woman. But because she wasn't a LIBERAL.

Then I'll consider it. The way the question is worded implies that I'd have to make a choice between Sanders and O'Malley, and for me that choice would be Sanders.
