@trouble_man90@LibZionistNerd@JakeNtFrSF Not saying it can't happen but so far all the stuff that's been thrown at him is making him MORE attractive to Collins voters. Right now their strategy seems the same as Mills "He called your neighbors LOSERS!!" Show me a Mainer that doesn't think that.
@chitownsam723b Platner can win Republicans in Maine. This is smart politics. Kamala was doing the "triangulate" thing, which was never going to work for her.
@ThomasJCarcetti Up here in ME we've seen Mills campaign. She is a good governor but a bad campaigner. Her last election she won against the despised LePage (who never won a majority of voters), not the still-popular Collins. She would have lost. Zero doubt.
@Wilson__Valdez Platner is correctly saying that most elected Dems DO NOT WANT healthcare (they want "the OPPORTUNITY for healthcare" meaning if you can pay for it, you get it; they say this phrase ALL THE TIME). If it were JUST Republicans we'd have had it long ago.
@bhaviklathia And now we have Maine dems saying they won't vote for Platner; "We'd rather vote for someone who will confirm Trump judges and support his agenda 90% of the time." "Vote Blue applies to YOU."
@nathanTbernard Hey lefties: "Blue no matter who" only applies to YOU." By this logic those who didn't vote for Kamala because of genocide (def worse than a tattoo) were RIGHT.
@metaplexmovies It's a terrific movie but it does owe a debt to Django the Bastard (which Eastwood clearly liked since he remade it AGAIN as Pale Rider).
@EliasToufexis There are certainly 20 great TOS episodes and at least that many are good (entertaining and memorable). Add about a dozen "terrible but fun" (yea, brother) and that's a pretty good run.
@RealJacobPerry Ridiculous. Whitmer would have crashed an burned in the same way. There was not enough time for a VP unknown to the general public to build momentum against a well-known celebrity.
@dprzygoda Whether you want Platner or not, she handed him an easy win. She does not have the political acumen to beat Collins, how many more times does it have to be said?
@Gibboanxious Cool Hand Luke is an impressive Christian allegory (much better than POTC etc.) that's also wickedly entertaining. BCATSK is a buddy comedy.
Collins is the current senator, bad record on race, usually votes with the GOP majority. Platner is very likely to be the next senator (will beat Mills in primary UNLESS there's a revelation WORSE than "Nazi tattoo" and maybe even then) and has a good chance of beating Collins.
@NilesGApol She lost because she was largely unknown to the general public, who pay no attention to vice presidents. She had a truncated campaign and was competing against a Brand Name that many people, bafflingly, still believed was a Great Businessman. Nothing else.
@CV__Politics Maine is one of the least religious states in the union, might be THE least. No damage to Platner. Mills vs Collins equals Collins, so it's Platner or bust.
@DeepNotShallow Really? I see far more Platner hate on here. Like, so much that I have to log off or I'll spend all day telling people that Mills can't beat Collins, over and over again.
@InfosecThrow@Wilson__Valdez The tattoo matters in the primary. Hate to break it to you but Collins' voters will not care about a nazi tattoo; she's gonna have to play that right or a lot of her voters will be all "Nazi? Why didn't anyone tell me! Sign me up!" Real Maine facts.
