The media pushed a Clinton Sanders narrative that took out...

Whom I believe was the best candidate we had. I look forward to his future.

I seem to have just had a bout of anger with respect to how much control the media has over this process.

I've been trying to ignore my anger about this (and it's been somewhat subsumed by my anger about anti-feminism, finger pointing, and 'rudeness.')

This is SO SAD! Watched Whiskey Tango Foxtrot today, and I'm more and more angry about war-mongers, in the past and on our doorstep.

I thought he was the best of the candidates. The DNC and the MSM never gave him a chance, and he ran out of money.

The vote for "Other" in Michigan is about 1.9%. I wonder how much of that went to O'Malley, who was still on the ballot.

ETA: In Michigan, "2,331 votes went for Martin O'Malley."
