Did I just witness the start of the 2020 presidential campaign in NH?

*“The only way we’re going to be a majority governing (party) is by first winning back our states. We’ve lost so many statehouses and so many governors offices that in order to lead our country we first need to win back our states,” O’Malley stated.

But O’Malley is optimistic, saying he’s seeing encouraging signs.

“There’s a wellspring of new activism and new candidates that I think are going to emerge after the grief of this last election. And you’re going to see it in New Hampshire and every other state. I predict you’re going to see more young people running for office than you’ve ever seen before. And that’s a very positive thing for our country,” he said.

O’Malley told the crowd that reforming the Democratic Party “won’t come from inside the Beltway in Washington. It’s going to come from you. It’s going to come from all of you here in New Hampshire, in Maryland, and in other states across the United States. That’s how our party’s going to be reformed.”

“And that’s how we’re going to get our country back. And when our party comes back, and surely we will, it’s going to be a much more distributive and inclusive, a much more network sort of party, than we’ve known in the past,” he added.'>>>

Nothing 'nuts' about that, imo.

'Somebody else' might also have said/be saying the same/similar things. And SOME of us had thoughts of a dream ticket!
