But what I like most about O’Malley dismissing Rubio’s economic outlook as “bullshit” is that he’s not wrong. NPR’s Steve Inskeep had asked O’Malley about Rubio’s views on how regulations on businesses impact upward mobility, which Rubio had laid out in an NPR interview a week earlier. In that interview, Rubio tried making a populist case for deregulation, arguing that regulations only serve to stack the deck in favor of banks and large corporations. “The fact is that big government helps the people who have made it,” Rubio said. “If you can afford to hire an army of lawyers, lobbyists and others to help you navigate and sometimes influence the law, you’ll benefit. And so that’s why you see big banks, big companies, keep winning. And everybody else is stuck and being left behind.”

Martin O'Malley speaks powerfully about crisis few willing to confront.

Thanks for the information.

he's substantial, he's a LEADER!

He's on Morning Joe tomorrow.

I look forward to seeing the show online when it's available.

are both fantastic candidates. They walk the walk. I'd be ecstatic to vote for either of them in the general.

Let's give Governor O'Malley a CHANCE by encouraging people/media to pay attention, Aerows!

It truly is really difficult for me to say who I like better between the two. I was leaning O'Malley, then Sanders got momentum, but honestly, both are excellent.

I'm a member of the O'Malley group, too, btw.

It's early so I'm on the fence between the two - both are fantastic.

I wish we were stronger on environmental issues.

He's been actually working towards those ends for decades.

The rest?

Not so much.

Martin O'Malley's worked on these matters for years, several decades in fact. See my post above.

'the rest; not so much.'

Didn't read any replies before I posted..

Make it Sanders and O 'Malley.


(With a mea culpa to you Ellen.

and please follow him. There's a Group here, with lots of info.

And thank you.

but I doubt he's the sort of masters of money and its power the Papa had in mind.

He's in a powerful position and hasn't let money be his master.

I think he was looking to motivate some big money folks to step up and contribute to their communities' common good.

and hope that his message inspires them.
