Martin O'Malley gives Democratic call to arms at Charleston campaign event for Joe Cunningham

Democratic presidential politics descended on Charleston Saturday as potential 2020 candidate and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley made his third trip to South Carolina in 2017.

As he did in his more recent trips, O'Malley tied his visit to stumping for local Democrats, a move that helps both the party and his own apparatus should he try again after his 2016 bid fell short.

His message this time was more on what Democrats can bring to the table than in targeting key Republican foe President Donald Trump head on.

"None of our candidates, quite frankly, are talking about Donald Trump," O'Malley said during his appearance at the Bay Street Biergarten that drew at least 100. "They're talking about us. They're talking about what we as a nation need to do as a people to listen to one another again."

This. I've always liked him and still think with a little polishing he can be a great candidate.
