In another sign that he is suffering from delusions of national relevance, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) participated in a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) today. Presumably he thought some exposure to the young Internet-savvy crowd would at least help raise his 2016 poll numbers above most cartoon characters. If he is true to form, O’Malley will try to spin his AMA performance as a rousing success, but people who participated certainly won’t be buying that.
O'Malley completely embarrassing himself on that Reddit AMA. What a dork.

Governor O'Malley did an AMA on reddit. He answered some decent questions, but ducked far more. Hope it gets covered by some type of news.

Governor Martin O'Malley's AMA went about as poorly as one could imagine. He'd have fit right in on "The Wire."

Reading MD Gov. Martin O'Malley's AMA on Reddit and he's basically avoiding all the hard questions. What a disaster.

Yikes. Gov. O'Malley tanked his Reddit AMA this morning: http://t.co/xpcaGDTtRQ
Compare it to, say, Ethan Hawke's: http://t.co/q0HHRY6mU9

Quote from MD Gov. Martin O'Malley Reddit AMA session today says it all about failed policies & economy in our statehttp://t.co/gkgCsRnh4W

ALL politicians: Do NOT do an AMA as you will get smacked. Ask MD Gov. O'Malley http://t.co/eyaGIw5vbS

But maybe they deserve the smacking.
