education and immigration, that group is pro-Wall street and pro-TPP. O'Malley never pandered or minced words. He explained why he is for breaking up the banks and against the TPP. And then surprise! JP Morgan had a representative sitting in the crowd with the journalists, ready to defend poor-old Wall Street.

I am starting to watch this. I will probably finish it tomorrow.

Glad (and not surprised) he is not afraid to go into the belly of the beast.

Will return when I can spend more time watching (late night!) No real surprise Wall Street was represented, as it's a 'c of c' event. Glad MOM had a chance to present his point of view.

Martin O'Malley has experience with working on immigration reform in a way that other candidates do not.

It is one thing to vote in the senate for immigration reform, it is entirely different to be a governor and work to get this passed in a state.

Like LGBT issues, too many people elected as a house member or a senator are too willing to say issues like this should be left to the states. You know the old canard: 'Let the States decide'

Maryland, under the guidance of O'Malley has proven he can get things done.
