Martin O'Malley tried to jump in to discuss talking points several times without success. Moderators minimizing O'Malley on debate stage

A struggling Martin O'Malley came to Saturday night's debate intent on making a mark. But moderators David Muir and Martha Raddatz kept swatting him away.

It started almost immediately, when O'Malley tried to jump in during a discussion on gun control, but Raddatz turned instead to Sanders.

As Bernie Sanders was finishing up, O’Malley tried to jump in. Muir put his hand up and tried to tell O’Malley they wanted to move on.

“Excuse me, no," O'Malley said

"Governor we have to abide by the rules here, we’ll get to you shortly," Muir said, before letting O'Malley make a comment.

Muir later reminded O'Malley of following the debate rules.

"Governor we are going to call on you tonight, it’s very clear you have a lot to say, but please wait to be called upon," he said.

Later during a section on encrypted technology and law enforcement, O'Malley tried to jump in to tell a story.

“Not yet governor," Raddatz said. "When we come to you, you’ll be happy, we’ll let you talk then.”

The amount of time each candidate has gotten so far says it all: Hillary Clinton has spoken for 20 minutes and 20 seconds, while Sanders has spoken for 13 minutes and 51 seconds, followed by O’Malley with 11 minutes and 29 seconds, according to a POLITICO count.
