let's see, o'malley, 6. >> if he were to rename himself, he might do better in these polls. i think there's space for martinalley. there needs to be someone to the left of clinton. there will be a lot of progressives hoping for the left of clinton. if but among the group of democrats who have embraced income inequality and pushing for progressive policy, they are going to want someone to go in the field and say, listen, even while we supported hilary, we have to keep our eye on the ball. >> the thing that strikes me too when you look at o'malley staking out a progressive tone, it's governor khocuomo who has backed off. he's upset progressives, the minimum wage, there was one increase, but new york city can't make another increase. he's done some things on campaign finance that things were disappointed about. he's the one person who thought was to be the other progressive option, but i think he's gotten himself in trouble. >> or maybe he didn't intend to be in the presidential role in the first place. i think he's just destined to disappointed. we have waited for fathers for decades. it's not going to happen
