Subject: RE: BS: Oct 2015 Democratic Debate
I agree with the view of the last post, but my point was that O'Malley made Sanders look bad. Sanders's vote on the Brady bill was something Sanders had to deal with and the defense that Sanders gave, that he had to vote against the bill because he came from a rural state, was torpedoed by O'Malley, to the benefit mainly of Clinton. Meanwhile Clinton never had to deal with her support of the big banks or with her e-mails. It is true that in his campaign speeches O'Malley pointed out the huge speaking fees that Clinton received from the major Wall Street banks (and the major campaign contributions from this source for both her Senate and Presidential campaigns,) but there was not a peep from him about this during the debate.
