If republicans and conservatives do not soon get their heads around the Glass/Steagal vs. Cromnibus issue (the law we needed vs the law we got), Martin O'Malley could very easily be our next president.
GLass/Steagal is not a left/right or Democrat/GOP issue, it's more like a right/wrong issue, i.e. there's only one right side of it. The issue is capable of swamping all other issues in a 2016 election and, so far, O'Malley is the only guy in the picture who acts like he understands it.
I wouldn’t rule out O’Malley’s chances. There are no longer any standards for electing a president. Its gotten down to a liar’s contest. The one with the tallest tales wins!
