Related: About this forumMartin O’Malley: There’s nothing ‘tough’ about Donald Trump
Theres nothing tough about Donald Trumps rhetoric on immigration, Democratic presidential candidate Martin OMalley said Tuesday.
I dont find anything tough about Donald Trump at all, the former governor of Maryland told MSNBCs The Rundown with Jose Diaz-Balart. In fact, my parents taught us that this is not strength, this is weakness when you attack and you scapegoat other people and talk less of other human beings, as he has done in such hate-filled ways, OMalley said.
....
Public figures need to push back more against Trump and the language he is using, OMalley said.
Its not funny, its not entertaining, and it is unbecoming of the United States of America and the office of president of the president, he added.

(6,409 posts)1. Most bullies are not tough
Trump plays a bully on TV, and he is one in real life. He uses his money and influence to demean and belittle other people. He is similar to Reagan when it comes to talking tough and failing to back it up.

This interview shows that Diaz-Balart is the best anchor on MSNBC. It's too bad he is already on primetime Telemundo, because I'd love to see him take over Lawrence O'Donnell's spot.
And O'Malley continues to show why he deserves a more serious look.
