"To say that Platner 'isn’t perfect' is to say nothing at all. None of us is perfect.

"I like reminding people that despair in Christian theology is called the gravest of sins. And the reason why is because despair, properly understood, originally understood, was the idea that you were so irredeemable, that you were beyond salvation, that you were so sinful and you had transgressed so much that you shouldn't even bother asking for God's forgiveness because you were beyond it."

"When you watch Democrats try to support Graham Platner, it's like walking through a carnival funhouse version of watching Republicans talk themselves into supporting Donald Trump in 2016." | @DavidAFrench
