Observation from a O'Malley supporter on HRC's NY Primary speech last night

HRC's speech last night included about 10 lines from Martin O'Malley's standard stump speech including banning the box. If CNN posts a text transcription, I'll add the other points. I find that encouraging and have always felt that O'
Malley's plans would become the blueprint for the Democratic party moving forward.

O'Malley plans are posted here:

She just borrows what sounds good as campaign blather.

She will go hard right neo-con war hawk Third Way, if elected president. I won't vote for that.

Get off your high horse and support the Democrats. Anything less is giving comfort and assistance to the Trumps and Cruzs of the world.

Hopefully, Hillary will reach out her hand to him during her GE campaign. He has great ideas.

with REAL workable plans for moving forward instead of empty slogans like Sanders.

I hope O'Malley sticks around in politics somehow.

Maybe a cabinet position?
