"that we can actually get things done"

He's right - this is a perspective of a new generation.

And he's also right re Republican Governors complicity in redistricting in 2010 - and how as a result we have a polarizing House that is not reflective of America.

And on that note folks - while we are working for O'Malley - we need to find local candidates (Boroughs, Villages, Towns and even cities) who are aligned with his vision to run next year if a position is up for election.

I can be a bit pugnacious about Trenton NJ - but I have to be. It's January 2017 and in my O'Malley as CIC - I expect my borough will be able to move our power lines underground, offer public wifi, allow our undocumented new Americans to come out of the shadows, and ensure our state police never again feel they have the right to sit down a few minority teenagers in my town with guns trained on them - and our local PD having to come to their rescue -

The rescue of the brown teenagers they PROTECT.

Key take away from the Maddow interview - Congress doesn't represent America right now. And he KNOWS if he wins - its going to be a constant fight with them. So he needs us fighting from the bottom up while he fights top down.
