Good to see this 'live,' about national security and challenges and opportunities facing the U.S.

It might just be my computer (I hope). Let me know if it works for you.

I realized (20/20 hindsight) I should have added this link in reply to the article you posted, instead of posting it separately.

I have to proceed one mistake at a time.

tried it twice.

Folks have to view the thing in its entirety. The MSM account of it did not give justice to the scope of his remarks. There is a lot in there.

Among so many other things, he stressed climate change as a high priority national security threat.

Many of his economic views are woven into the whole as well.

The question and answer period was excellent.

You are right it should be viewed in its entirety. I believe he is the most electable. Time to start facing reality, Hillary is carrying too much baggage and the Socialist label will make Bernie unelectable with independent voters. O'Malley will have a broad appeal in the general election.

Sometimes name recognition is a tough hurdle. I believe O'Malley will gain ground once people take notice of him.

and seeing him briefly in Iowa brought to me the view that he fits in SO WELL, in Iowa http://amestrib.com/news/o-malley-talks-jobs-student-debt-and-environmental-change and MANY other places in the U.S.

Looks like a president too. He would not be a divisive figure. I think he would bring people together. We need more healing and cooperation, and less attacking and fighting.

The 1% might find him likable, even when he raises their taxes. As he himself said, we have to listen to our "better angels." He appeals to our humanity.
