DAMN IT! I wanted to believe...I mean, Collins MUST GO... but Platner has proven he doesnt possess the character to continue. *sigh The Democrats are in such a mess. I wonder if both parties arent driving voters to Democratic Socialists, who seem to be gaining momentum. They are getting positive results in New York City with Mamdani. Voters want positive results.

"the cesspool of American politics." Couldnt have said that any better. 👏👏👏

Possibly a blessing in disguise. He was basically tied in the polls. They'll fiind a better candidate. Janet Mills, the very old ex governor who ran against Platner in the primary, is said to be out. They're looking at three local politicians to take Platner's place. They won't have his ugly track record, so hopefully they can beat Collins, who is not popular.

Have you seen the thought of Heather Cox Richardson jumping into the race? I’m sure she wouldn’t as politics is beneath her, but I dream of a time when our government is full of scholars and doctors and other professionals.

One of my regular readers, Suzanne Taylor,has been begging for months for HCR to run for office. She posts about it frequently.

As often happens when women accuse a public figure of sexual assault, most men believe the man. Very few women falsely accuse men of rape. It should become a mantra “believe the woman”.

There is ZERO EVIDENCE of rape. She did not pursue emergency treatment or provide forensic evidence to support this allegation. She is being paid by the DNC or RNC to smear Graham Platner before the Midterms because NONE OF THE ESTABLISHMENT IN CONGRESS WANT TO LOSS THEIR POWER TO COMMIT INSIDER TRADING ETC!!!! DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT!!

You probably need to reckon with the fact that Collins is going to win.
