O'Malley: Ted Cruz Is More 'Outrageous, Unqualified' Than Donald Trump

LAS VEGAS -- The three Democratic presidential candidates made their case here Wednesday night in an early state that may prove critical in securing the nomination.

Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley delivered speeches at the "Battle Born Battleground" caucus dinner, hosted by the Nevada Democratic Party and Sen. Harry Reid, who introduced the candidates.

---snip---

O'Malley, who spoke second, dedicated a significant portion of his speech to knocking Ted Cruz. The former governor of Maryland is currently struggling with single digits in polls.

"I'd like to say that Donald Trump is the most outrageous and unqualified person ever to run for president. But really, that's not fair to Ted Cruz," he said.

In his strongest criticism of Cruz to date, O'Malley called him out for his positions on gun control, saying: "Cruz actually says that the answer to gun violence is more guns. Senator, the answer to cancer is not more cancer, the answer to poverty is not more poverty, and the answer to gun violence isn't more guns." (continued)

So most of the low-polling losers of both parties are attacking Ted Cruz? Interesting.

Because they want to run against Trump the guy who loses to Hillary in almost every RCP poll.

Looks like Martin O’Malley is trying to kiss up to Trump for a VP spot.

Hey stranger things have happened...

Trump once said he would have Oppie Windfrey as his VP.

There is nothing more dangerous to liberalism than a principled Conservative.

The most outrageous, unqualified, deceitful POS candidate in the history of the republic has been Barack Obama, and now we’re supposed to be “ready for Hillary”? Martin O’Marxist is another trash talking POS rubber-stamp, ‘Rat politician.

O'Malley probably cannot sleep at night without a light on.

Martin O'Malley has the nerve to question another candidate on the basis of... qualifications?

Gotta give him points for nerve.

Because Cruz is the true conservative.

A desperate cry out for attention from “Mr. 1% in the polls.”

Scared rabbits squeal just before the coyote crushes their ribs and eats them.

O'Smelly is squealing like a dying rabbit.

Since Cruz is the ONLY PERSON at this point capable of slowing down Trump, we expected these attacks from the Dems...to try to prop up Cruz (i.e., make us think Cruz is the man they really fear).

They do it every campaign cycle.

It fits with the narrative that the Dems want to run against Trump and not Cruz.

I say give them what they want.

While I acknowledge and respect your support for Cruz, I must note that this article is unworthy of my Make America Great Again pinglist. Perhaps, however, you might find it useful for your Maryland "Freak State" list, so that others like myself who have actually lived under O'Malley's ruinous policies can join in the disgust, revulsion and jeering at this bombastic narcissist's ignorant pretense that his utter failures in Baltimore, for just one example, give him some kind of right to an authoritative opinion.

In sum, O'Malley bites.
