Martin O'Malley was a real turn off.

[boston bean]

I thought he had some gravitas.

He slithered with snakes tonight. A real turn off for me.

1. 1,000,000 percent agreed

I can't believe some thought he won. Must be his supporters cuz I didn't see it.

[Agschmid]

3. So I don't think he "won" but I do think he got more exposure.

And that exposure will appeal to some.

He's got nothing to loose here.

[JimDandy]

7. Not a supporter of his, but he gained the most tonight.

Sanders won. Hillary didn't do as well as she should have after practically being given a gift with the refocusing of the debate questions to foreign affairs.

[Scootaloo]

2. How so? Please expound on this, "he slithered with snakes tonight"?

[morningfog]

6. He dared to criticize St. Hillary.

[Scootaloo]

8. C'mon, let Boston Bean field it. I'm genuinely curious here.

[Duckhunter935]

9. Yep, we know that is not allowed

I too am curious on the response from bb

[Evergreen Emerald]

4. I can't put my finger on why, but he creeps me out

He is not genuine.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. He is a bit too "rehearsed" versus being more natural in his responses.

I think the type of aplomb that he needs comes with time and the school of hard knocks that the other 2 candidates have had.

[DURHAM D]

5. Totally agree.

He is behind so he needed attention, even of the negative type. I was really disappointed as I had previously considered him as a possible V-P. After tonight I think he is just a pretty jerk.

[OilemFirchen]

10. Sadly, I agree.

His demeanor was off-putting and he was ill-advised to devote so much of his limited time to attacking the other candidates. It was an underdog strategy which failed, and one which is beneath him.

Yes, he'll grab some new chatter. No, it won't be demonstrably positive.

[restorefreedom]

12. wow that did not take long

under the bus with you, martin!

[mvd]

13. Well, I am mixed on him

There are a couple things that were mistakes. One was his All Lives Matter statement. Of course all lives matter, but white lives have always mattered. It's missing the point to say "all lives matter" in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. Another thing thing that bothered me was his criticism of Hillary saying Repukes are the enemy, and him saying we should work together. Made me wonder how different from Hillary and President Obama he would really be.

Other times he is great though, like his statement on a Wall Street economists tonight.

[Cha]

14. "10:23 PM: Okay, this debate has clarified things for me: I'm not supporting Martin O'Malley."

Was curious why Josh Marshall say that..?
