Martin O'Malley bombs on reddit has one of worst AMA's in history

I knew that O'Malley could come across as tin-eared, and I realize that Reddit is a difficult audience for most politicians, but this was a really bad performance. If Tim Pawlenty had done an AMA four years ago, it would have looked like this.

I don't think Reddit was the problem here. Read a few of O'Malley's responses; it's as if he doesn't realize that he's talking to human beings. He'd have been ripped apart for this lame performance in plenty of venues.
