Here Lies Martin O’Malley for President, a 2016 Presidential flirtation which was was over before anyone even knew it started.
The amount of media coverage on O’Malley mirrored his own constituents’ lack of enthusiasm. Seriously, FITSNews gave more coverage to the failed storybook romance of Thomas Ravenel and Kathryn Dennis than to O’Malley’s presidential aspirations. And that’s unacceptable for a man who hoped to be the leader of the free world. Or really bad editorial policy, I’m not sure.
O’Malley received some attention for being governor of Maryland, for being the former Mayor of Baltimore, for banning capital punishment, for allowing same-sex marriage, for declaring war on guns … but he drew yawns from everybody else, and apparently himself as well, as he dozed off once during a meeting.
So, after Republican Larry Hogan eviscerated O’Malley’s hand-picked gubernatorial successor Anthony Brown (thank you, campaigner in chief), where does this leave us with respect to the 2016 election? As FITS has coined it, “The Maryland Mob” (Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, O’Malley, and Chris Van Hollen) is in a bit of a pickle. O’Malley was going to be their dark horse challenger to Hillary Clinton – but now that’s about as likely to happen as Obama making it a month without playing a round of golf.

I'm not sure if he thought he'd get a pat on the back for creativity from all his buddies the the stupid "rain tax" or if it was to steal a.little extra money to be embezzled at a later date. WHATEVER he was thinking or not thinking, it made him look like a real DUMMY!
