I mean he is my second choice if Bernie drops after all . In fact I wouldn't mind a ticket of Sanders/O'Malley or even O'Malley/Sanders.

"In the words of MLK" off that list.

As MLK once said,"Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats Preach"!

I'd love to see him mix up Kanye West and MLK!
