O’Malley wants US to take in 65,000 Syrian refugees

It's obvious he's trying to score points with voters,

That is called politics.

65,000 is peanuts. Like O'Malley said, Germany took in 800,000 this year.

That sounds good on paper, but the solution can't always be to call in the military to fix the situation. We don't need a four-way ground war in Syria. That would be unwinnable.

Just how is this going to win him votes? 

Huh? What I meant by "That is called politics," is: trying to score points with voters is what politics is all about.

Quite. I just don't see how whatever points  are "scored" would be positive ones myself. It is not as if there is much of a constituency out there for this, at least of which I am aware.

Well, yeah. TBH I was just being nitpicky with MisSkeptic's post.
