    Is Platner a great candidate? No.

    Is he better than Collins? Almost certainly.

    A Heritage Foundation hit piece is a ringing endorsement as far as I’m concerned.

    I especially enjoyed the part about how this adult presented a diary entry she wrote ‘from 2016’ as her evidence.

      No one if going to get a Berkeley California style liberal elected in Maine. The people there historically vote for purple candidates.

      The most liberal candidate will be bluer shade of purple, that caucuses with the Dems, and makes it harder for the GOP to get a majority and to control the senator.

        No one if going to get a Berkely, California style liberal elected in Maine.

        Bruh California can’t get a Berkely style liberal elected in Berkely.
