A Matter Of Trust

I promised a commentary on Martin O'Malley's speech at a New Hampshire event from earlier this month.  Here it is.

At the Politics and Eggs event at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, O'Malley (above, from the event) boiled down America's problem to one thing - trust.  No one trusts the politicians to tell them the truth or even care about their concerns, no one trusts the media to get the news straight, and on one trusts each other.  He said it was important that people rebuild that trust and start listening to each other, and he added - once again, for those who didn't listen to him the 534,961,654 times he said it before - the Democrats have to focus on what people outside Washington are saying rather than merely attacking the opposition.

Think anyone will listen now?  Judge for yourself: O'Malley made this speech this April 3, less than three weeks before Tom Perez filed that idiotic lawsuit against various Trump actors.

For those of you who did not come to this blog by way of my Facebook and Twitter pages, where I posted direct links to the speech (which included a Q&A session), the link to it is here.  One caveat - it plays like any live speech on C-SPAN would.  No flash, no glitter, just some smart politics.
