He ran a good campaign, not sure why he didn't catch on.

His strategy of waiting lost him traction.
He didn't run a clown show like Il Douchebag did with his red hat and hate spewing act
All the air got sucked out and he couldn't find room

He ran an engaging campaign.
I don't think any of the other candidates worked harder than he did

I know he was my 2nd choice and I could have campaigned and voted for him proudly. I hope to see get a position in Bernie's cabinet. I think Malley has a bright future ahead of him. It simply wasn't his year.

But may I suggest that he would make an excellent Vice President for Bernie Sanders. I like him a lot and was happy to see him in the race as a reasonable choice. He is a young man so his future is bright!
