1. From the article:

The attack by O’Malley on Sanders was bad strategy. Martin O’Malley is being squeezed out of the Democratic race. There isn’t room for a third candidate. It is Campaigning 101. O’Malley is running out of time and money. He needs to move up fast, or his campaign will be officially finished.

Bernie Sanders is liked by much of the left. He is trusted and has been honest about his views. The idea that he was disloyal to President Obama is silly. Overall, Sen. Sanders has been very supportive of President Obama. Obama and Democrats trusted Sanders with the bipartisan legislation to reform the VA.

Sanders has his disagreements with President Obama on issues like Social Security and the TPP, but he has always made it clear that he is a friend of the president who disagrees with him on policy.

The Martin O’Malley campaign is virtually dead. O’Malley worked for years to be the main challenger to Hillary Clinton, but his team never saw Bernie Sanders coming. From the moment that Sanders entered the Democratic primary, former Gov. O’Malley has been the third wheel.

Sen. Sanders demonstrated why attacking him in a negative way will almost always backfire.

O'Malley is just trying to remain relevant.

3. O'Malley worked for years to be the main challenger to Hillary Clinton?

If that's true, he's even more of a no-hoper than the polls would suggest. If he can spend years preparing for a campaign, then simply get brushed aside in passing, he's just not got what it takes.

So O'Malley's been working for years, Hillary, let's face it, has been running since 2006 or so, failed once, spent all of the time since prepping herself to have an outstanding resume. The only one who simply jumped right in from a standing start is Sanders, and despite a few bobbles, he's done pretty damn well so far.

6. I don't know if that's true but it's obvious he's not a threat to either of them.

I can't blame him for taking a swipe at Bernie I guess, it's the only time he gets any attention.

10. That is a great example of why we needed a primary challenger for Hillary as well.

Just look how far she has moved back to the left where a "Democrat" belongs.
Bernie has been proven correct in both cases. IMO

5. Sanders just keeps digging his lie hole. eom

8. Take it easy.

There is enough Hillary hate on DU already without resorting to sexist and uncivil terms like "lie hole."

[MohRokTah]

9. He's in a hole of lies that he dug himself into.

He's still digging his lie hole.

[earthside]

11. And you are digging an 'incivility hole'.

Why are you so disrespecting of a leader in the race for the 2016 nomination for the Democratic Party for President of the United States?

This only helps Repuglicans, you know.

13. Ignore that one.

Some people are here to discuss the issues, others are more interested in swift boating.

Stick to the issues and ignore the distractions.

[VanillaRhapsody]

14. oh man come on....Where were you when the Sanders supporters were just as "uncivil"??

suddently there is a whole new group of people demanding "civility" and we are not supposed to notice that.

[MohRokTah]

15. He lied

Thea's no getting around that fact.

You just don't like the fact he lied and just keeps digging that hole deeper.

17. He called for Obama to be primaried.
