Maryland Gov. O’Malley’s Iowa visit sparks 2016 speculation, comparisons to Hillary Clinton

DES MOINES — Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley was the only potential 2016 presidential contender to set foot in Iowa over the weekend, and yet the Democrat didn’t really have the stage to himself.

Shortly after O’Malley (D) spoke at a dinner Friday night for retiring Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), Hillary Rodham Clinton’s image appeared on two large screens overhead. In a video, she teased that she needed advice from Harkin on a “momentous plunge” that she is about to take. “Tom, what’s the secret to being such a terrific grandparent?” Clinton asked, drawing uproarious laughter from the crowd.

The good news for O’Malley is that he appeared to be taken seriously during a two-day swing through this state, whose first-in-the-nation caucuses give it disproportionate influence in deciding the Democratic presidential nominee every four years. Almost every party activist interviewed after O’Malley’s appearances said they would welcome an alternative to Clinton in the 2016 White House race, despite polls that show her the overwhelming choice of Democrats nationwide.

Well, I have to admit that OweMalley and Hitlery have a lot in common, since they are both America-hating, lying, cheating frauds. But I could have saved some keystrokes if I had just said they are both Democrats.

I know you’re not lying about the rain tax, as I live in MD, too. Howdy, neighbor. Andy Harris is my representative, too.

Do you think it really makes much difference? Our next official president will be whoever Soros has chosen, and Valerie Jarrett will continue to be the de facto president cum puppet master.

The Rats’ redistricting is never a surprise to me. They are liars and cheaters.
