Bernie Would Have Won is both an argument and a joke amongst Bernie Sanders supporters. Martin Would Have Won, in contrast, is a sentiment that did not exist until Martin O’Malley, the Ann from Arrested Development of 2016 Democratic presidential candidates, said it today, on the political podcast DC/BS.
When asked whether Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, or Martin O’Malley would have beaten Donald Trump if they had clinched the nomination, O’Malley said, “I think I would have won,” as his face did an upside-down smiley emoji.
Ahh, Martin. This is the same man who had zero to one supporters show up at some primary caucuses.
At one caucus, not a single O'Malley supporter in sight https://t.co/kzeOgrZoxg pic.twitter.com/5bOGUcVYkE

Martin’s campaign also literally had to ask for pens.
The wish list from @jbendery's great article on Martin O'Malley just kinda depressed me.

And don’t forget, Martin constantly had to remind everyone what his name was. But yeah, he would have won!
