Seems right to bring this up again.
How fitting to see @TroyJackson207 in Southern Maine now, and his campaign shifting the message. @BJMcCollister knows how to win.
@RJSurdyk Nope. They’re running him to the middle to win the race that decides the fate of the Senate.
They’re running on my theory, that I wrote about months ago.

this is the part of a trump term where everyone realizes the liberal woman was the better option, and was right about everything. they did this with hillary right before the 2018 midterms and they’re doing it now.
MAKE THE CHANGE WHEN YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!
AOC can't run yet. In a country of majority moderates and independents, a young Latina socialist would lose against a moderate Republican. The Progressive movement represents only a small fraction of the country and leftist echo chambers make us forget that

Get it together people. This was before Pro Publica and she has a big weight around her with Trump. Troy Jackson is going to have to prove he's senate material -- but this is doable and he can win.
@NickyFrank30 The Platner thing absolutely reaffirmed what’s consistently got her reelected.
She’s your quiet, old, reliable moderate who brings home the bacon for ME and isn’t concerned with national politics. Obviously, folks figured her schtick out. This shouldve been a homerun for D’s.
