  Why Graham Platner’s progressive supporters ignored glaring warning signs
There are painful but necessary lessons to be learned from the Maine Democratic Senate candidate’s rise and fall.


The first lesson is don’t fall in love with an unvetted political outsider — or, for that matter, any politician. When he announced his candidacy, Platner told a compelling story. He was a political outsider with no experience in electoral politics, a Marine combat veteran and an oyster fisherman in a state where working on the water is a badge of honor.

It was obvious that Platner was allergic to the truth and would say anything to keep his candidacy alive. But it also couldn’t have been clearer that, despite Platner’s protestations, there were more shoes to drop. Yet again, plenty of Democrats ignored the clear warning signs and continued to support him.

 Democratic Party establishment is not so dumb when it comes to politics. Last Fall, when Platner was emerging as a candidate, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer recruited Maine’s two-term Democratic governor Janet Mills to challenge for the seat. And while Mills was a lackluster, ineffectual campaign, Schumer’s instinct was that a vetted, known quantity was a better bet to defeat Collins than an untested political neophyte.   

Over the past several weeks, the Democratic establishment has taken it on the chin from angry and frustrated Democratic voters. But the fact is, Democrats are in a prime position to potentially win the Senate next fall because Schumer and the establishment have put the right pieces in place.

This is so damn funny:

She is visiting from out of town and borrowing her mom's car.  She went some store and came out and got into someone else's car, just like her mom's, who left the key fob in it.  So she was able to start the car and drive it away, despite it being the wrong car.  She couldn't lock the doors, so she was buying batteries for her mom's key fob, thinking that's why her mom's fob would lock the doors on the wrong car she was in.  That's when the police showed up, lmao.

There was a lady here who parked her car, locked it, got in and went to store. She came back out and unlocked what she thought was her car and started it. It wasn't her car but somehow the key to hers worked on someone else's but the other people's key wouldn't work on hers. It was crazy.

I'm glad that Graham Platner is out.

But it is so disturbing to contemplate that the man who was *twice* elected president makes Platner look like an amateur when it comes to serial sexual assaults.

WE ARE PLANNING A BIG PARTY HERE AFTER ROY COOPER  WINS THE SENATE RACE….

Wasn't he appointed to a commission by Trump in 2017. 

Yes that is what happens when the government, from the cop on the street to the fool in the White House, violates rights and breaks laws. The perps do not pay, the tax payers do.   We need to fix that, don't you agree?

Their free speech rights were violated. The problem is other speech isn't permitted at all. Fix that and then there is a diversity of thought and ideas.

That is odd.  That's the car manufacturers fault.
