Martin O'Malley

I'm tired of being manipulated by the MSM and the pundits and the 1%ers. But if it turns out that we'll have a Bush and Clinton running against each other - I'll know the game is rigged.

The fact that they have put a non-discuss dictum out for Bernie - says to me that he really threatens their existence and so they decided that an 'out of sight - out of mind' strategy for Bernie was the strategy they'd employ.

Well last night Bernie really accomplished what he needed to and that was to get his message out to the wider audience of the American People. By the post-debate internet polls and focus groups it appears that Bernie accomplished that.

They won't be able to ignore Bernie going forward - but I'm seeing by the coverage post-debate - that any chance they get to knock him down or give him a zinger - they'll use it.

O'Malley came off really well last night and really impressed me. Unfortunately - Cooper and CNN classified O'Malley as a second tiered candidate and didn't give him the opportunity to shine or in many cases finish his thoughts. Cooper stepped on O'Malley's crowd reactions and I thought it was just rude of him to do that.

As a contrast - anytime Hillary had a crowd reaction - Cooper let it play out. That's just unfair and one-sided and part of the manipulation that the MSM wants to use on us.
