Hyers: Strongest Debate Performance Yet for O'Malley
CHARLESTON, SC - Tonight, O'Malley for President Senior Strategist Bill Hyers released the following statement about Governor O'Malley's winning performance in the fourth Democratic debate:
"Tonight, Governor O’Malley had his strongest debate of the campaign. He offered an inspirational vision for America, making the case for keeping new leadership in the White House to build on President Obama's progress.
"While Senator Sanders and Secretary Clinton sniped at each other, Governor O'Malley made the emotional connection with Democratic viewers. He had a powerful opening statement, praising South Carolina for showing America the way to heal after people came together in the aftermath of the Emanuel AME Church tragedy and took down the divisive hateful symbol of the confederate flag. He showed humor all night dealing with the moderators who tried to make it a two person debate. To top it off, Governor O'Malley had the strongest line of the night when he pointed out that both Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders have been inconsistent on guns.
"This is exactly the debate performance Governor O'Malley needed to remind voters in Iowa and the early states like South Carolina who are just starting to pay attention that we need to nominate the strongest candidate to challenge the Republicans and build on President Obama's new leadership."
