Sounds like a waste of time to me.  Who cares about these nobodies?  Ayotte will only matter if she challenges Hassan to a rematch in 2022.

Why does it say "political heavyweights", plural? O'Malley is the only one I see.

How much is the O'Malley campaign paying you to call him a political heavyweight?

[NeverAgain]

Irrelevant mediocre moderately successful politician vs newly un-elected mediocre politician. Who care.

[Heisenberg]

Both are extremely overrated. And Ayotte just won't go away, they still treat her as a rising star.

Glad we get to see a preview of what will certainly be the 2020 match-up!!

“This American eagle of ours flies best when both its right and its left wing flap,” O’Malley said. He narrated how he had lighthearted “bipartisan pizza nights” as governor to show his human side to his Republican counterparts. Ayotte and O’Malley both said colleges should innovate. O’Malley centered his argument on the claim that college should be affordable for more than the wealthy, while Ayotte said colleges should be held accountable for lowering their costs. O’Malley said global warming offers a good business opportunity, and he wants the United States to be fully energy renewable by 2050.

Ayotte briefly praised his “excellent” work, while O’Malley ensued in a short, fierce speech about his disapproval. “I have never known in the history of the presidency,” O’Malley said, “a doctrine of foreign policy that said utter unpredictability, incompetence, white supremacists running the national security administration and a hot-headed, quick-tempered [President] who tweets at 2 a.m. is a way to run a dependable [government] for a free people.”

As for his personal future, there is a possibility that he will appear in the next presidential campaign.
“I might be crazy enough to run again,” O’Malley said, being met with loud applause and cheers. “I accept your nomination.”

Well, at least he's being open about his mental illness.
