Martin O’Malley: Dems ‘Need to Win Back Our States if We’re Going to Save the United States’

EXCERPT:

O'MALLEY: "Well, as I talk to people all across our country, Brian, men and women that are running oftentimes for the first time as candidates, they tell me that they are — that the winning formula is to speak to the issues that affect opportunity and people’s earnings around their own kitchen table. And Donald Trump's like the -- the dark backdrop against which they create a brighter future for our country and a better story. Trump’s like a self-basting Turkey. Voters don’t care to hear about him. They want to know what are you going to do to help my family get ahead? And that’s why I believe we’re winning so many special elections all across our country. Oklahoma, five of the last seven special election, Democrats have prevailed. I was in Charleston, Cindy Boatwright running for an open seat there. And Joe Cunningham running for Congress. So, look, we need to win back our states if we’re going to save the United States and that’s my mantra and that's my message."
