Calling Martin O'Malley a DLCer is as ridiculous as calling Bernie Sanders a gun nut.

Governor O'Malley has been a champion of progressive policy for years. He's been there on LGBT rights, immigration, education, gun control, criminal justice, abolishing the death penalty, and taking care of veterans.

I'm sorry he said some less than flattering things about Sanders, but Governor O'Malley is not a DLCer or a centrist by any stretch of the imagination.

That being said, his language is unequivocal today as a progressive and I believe him. He doesn't use weasel words and phrasing and is direct in his answers. He would make a fine President.

There have been a lot of Trojan Horses in the last 30 years.

Bill Clinton running as a populist "I'll fight for you ti the last dog dies." Problem is he didn't make it clear enough who the "you" he was referring to really was.
