Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley thinks the Democratic Party’s decision to limit the number of primary debates is tantamount to rigging the nomination process.
“Four debates and only four debates — we are told, not asked — before voters in our earliest states make their decision,” the presidential candidate said at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Summer Meeting on Friday.
“This sort of rigged process has never been attempted before,” he added. “One debate in Iowa. That’s it. One debate in New Hampshire. That’s all we can afford.”
After O'Malley's speech wrapped up, observers noted palpable tension as he greeted DNC Chair, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

“The fix is in.”
Just wait until the DNC starts raising the dead to vote for Hillary. Walking Dead fans, hold on to your hats!!!
Or the DNC might have been telling O’Malley the truth: That’s all they can afford.
They’re not getting the money this election cycle. I think a lot of the donors realize that the momentum of this election is not going to favor the Democrats, not after eight years of an imperial Presidency.
They’re going to have at least two years of a Republican White House, a Republican Congress, and a majority of states with Republican governors and legislators.
And they lost their union base in Michigan and Wisconsin. That’s got to hurt them in the bank account, too.
Poor Marty, always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
The DNC nomination process is a farce. Anybody remember “superdelegates”? Regardless of how the primaries and caucuses turn out, the superdelegates pick the nominee. The superdelegates consist of the Democratic Party’s elite. The only thing to wonder is whether the superdelegates pick Hillary or Biden.
With DemonRats, everything is rigged.
From an elective standpoint, O’Malley has a good resume. City councilman, Mayor, Governor, and now Presidential candidate. 8 years in each office.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
