It should have been Gary Hart.
And I mean that. Should've been Gary Hart in 1984. Should have been Gary Hart in 1988. Probably 1992.
And I wouldn’t have been old enough to vote for him!
We could’ve had O’Malley this time around. He was something of a protege of Senator Hart. But the goddamn DNC and the goddamn media rigged(!) the nomination process for Clinton and Sanders.
Just like the media (The Miami Herald) torpedoed Hart’s candidacy in 1988.
I reckon we all have axes to grind, and hindsight is 20/20, and blah blah motherfuckin’ blah.
