TAKE THAT, HILLARY: O’Malley: No one’s ‘inevitable’ for 2016.
Former Gov. Martin O’Malley (D-Md.) on Sunday scoffed at the notion that any Democrat was a lock for his party’s 2016 presidential nomination.
“History is full of times where the inevitable frontrunner is inevitable until they’re no longer inevitable anymore,” O’Malley said.
Former first lady Hillary Clinton is widely considered the party’s frontrunner heading into 2016.
O’Malley also criticized the idea of presidential dynasties in politics. He said that neither Clinton nor former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.), a likely GOP candidate, were especially qualified for the Oval Office due to their family ties.
“The presidency is not some crown to be passed between two families,” O’Malley said, referencing earlier White House administrations under Bush and Clinton’s relatives.
The former governor also said Americans craved a president who better represented their interests.
“We need a president who is on our side,” he said.
Well, it would be a change. But isn’t pointing that out kinda racist or something?
