Democrat presidential candidate Martin O’Malley held a campaign event in Iowa Monday and one single person showed up. In O’Malley’s defense, it was snowing in Iowa but still… one guy?
Here’s the worst part, the guy left uncommitted.
Nick Gass reported at Politico:
One person shows up to O’Malley event in Iowa, remains uncommittedAmid a vicious winter storm on Monday that forced some presidential campaigns to cancel their scheduled stops in Iowa, only Martin O’Malley decided to press on.And one man at his last event, the only person to show up, in fact, “was glad to see me,” the former Maryland governor said. But he still would not commit to caucus for O’Malley.“The very last event of the night, we actually had a whopping total of one person show up, but by God, he was glad to see me. So we spent the time with him,” the Democratic presidential candidate told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Tuesday, speaking from Des Moines.A tweet shared by a reporter who was present showed a bearded man, identified only as Kenneth, sitting at a table with O’Malley, who told MSNBC that he was “working on him” but also said people in Iowa “want to see the whole campaign play out” before deciding on a candidate.
O’Malley brought up the single supporter on MSNBC yesterday morning. He also tangled with former DNC chair Howard Dean about the lack of Democratic Party debates.
O’Malley also claims that he reached out to the Sanders campaign to arrange debates without the DNC but was turned down:
The saddest part of this story for O’Malley is that millions of Americans will read it and ask: Who’s Martin O’Malley? There comes a point where the only logical move is to drop out.
