He sounds like a parody of Jerry Brown circa 1977.

And there is everything right with that.

I wonder if we'll all be looking back at this thread and laughing after it gets bumped on January 20, 2021 while he's sworn in as president.

We are already getting some O’Malley-isms from his trip to NH today, though they’re not as good as the ones from South Carolina:

Nothing wrong with Jerry Brown, I'm very proud to call Moonbeam 2.0 my governor.

"In order to be a governing party for the United States, we have to win back our states as Democrats," O'Malley said. "So I've been traveling all over the country helping the Democratic Party rebuild; reinvigorating our party from the grassroots up. Because that's what it's going to take; real people going out there and running for office."

"Be not afraid and believe that light always follows darkness," O'Malley said.

"This year's race I had a hard time opening up any oxygen or any lane in that particular mix. But in the next race I think you're going to see a lot of candidates stepping up," O'Malley said. "Some of them will have zero experience. Others, like myself, will have actually done these things in office and be able to give to people at least that experience of a track record of getting things done."

We laugh at him now, but if not for Bernie Sanders and Freddie Gray I'm convinced he would have been the "progressive alternative" to Hillary, would have gotten 1,000+ delegates, and at least half of the American left would be saying "O'Malley would have won."

If it wasn't for every politician to the left of Mike Pence, he would have won the democratic nomination.

Another fun O'Malley-ism from his debate with Ayotte:

Speaking O Malley-ism, there's 1 guy who can give O Malley a shot for his money & unfortunately that guy is totally overlooked for O Malley's clown antics. Booker-ism.

Last Sunday, O'Malley looked to the world of Game of Thrones for his O'Malley-ism inspiration:

What is this guy doing? I have never met an O'Malley supporter and I don't know anybody on the internet who wants him to run again.

A few of my acquaintances supported O'Malley briefly.

Then again, I live in Virginia, so he probably has more relevance down here.

I don't like O'Malley at all though. He was a terrible Governor who taxed Maryland so much that they dared to elect a Republican after him.

O'Malley seems to have moved away somewhat from the more abstract analogies (like "love is the world's only superpower"), but he hasn't given up on analogies completely:

That's not some off-base analogy just for the sake of sounding profound. That's a direct, if literary, jab at Trump. The purpose of that statement is to tell the audience that looting is all Trump has ever known how to do by bringing up one of his most famous business ventures and then to compare that to the way he's handling national economics now that he's been put somewhat in charge of them.

How is this cringey or noteworthy at all? This is one of his more redeeming qualities; the guy isn't willing to beat you over the head with obvious, dry diatribes. What O'Malley is trying to do is what he learned from Gary Hart -- that is, practice politics by rhetoric but backed by fact. Too many politicians do it the other way around, presenting cold, cherrypicked objective truth and backing it up with misleading, intellectually bankrupt and ideologically-driven narrative. He's trying to be a populist wonk. You can argue he isn't doing a good job of it, but I fail to see what's so apparently embarrassing about this that we've now devoted over a page and a half to the fact that the guy just speaks very dramatically.

Martin O'Malley will never be president not because he's somehow a bad fit for the office, but because the American electorate prefers an intellectually-drunken firebrand masquerading as a rationalist to a genuine theorist simply playing up his theatrics for a crowd that refuses to listen. It's all about shiny objects with primary voters these days and has been since Reagan.

Martin O'Malley is a careerist. When he was mayor of baltimore, all he cared about was moving up the ladder and becoming the gov. of maryland. He wants to become president so he can move up the ladder.

I certainly didn't mind my quality of life going up as a direct result of his policies regardless of him being kind of self-important.

I remember when Trump's tweets were just jokes too at one time.
