Martin O’Malley for President Senior Strategist Bill Hyers Statement on the CBS Democratic Debate
DES MOINES, IA - Tonight, O'Malley for President Senior Strategist Bill Hyers released the following statement about Governor O'Malley's winning performance in the second Democratic debate:
"Tonight, there was one winner on stage: Governor Martin O'Malley. He showed he is ready to be Commander-In-Chief. He proved that he's the only candidate of actions and not just words.
"In every segment of tonight's debate, Governor O'Malley had the breakthrough moment. From his story of the mom in Burlington, Iowa who told told him to always remind other public servants that soldiers aren't just 'boots on the ground,' that they're human beings, to standing up to Trump on his nativist and racist immigration policies, to showing why neither Senator Sanders nor Secretary Clinton has the backbone to stand up to the National Rifle Association, he brought the passion, principles, and fight that Democrats need in their next nominee.
"Governor O'Malley showed that he has the fresh thinking and new leadership we need to build on President Obama's legacy. He will be the Democrat's strongest candidate in November 2016. He is the best person to lead our nation."
