In reply to the discussion: Why the 'Nazi tattoo guy' is winning in Maine [View all]mr715
(3,992 posts)The tattoo is evidence of stoopidity, and keeping it for so long is bad. Getting it covered up as a, ahem, cover when running is also problematic because it smacks of opportunism.
That being said, he talks a really good game and he has the support of a lot of people I support.
As I've said in other threads, he is entitled grace by virtue of fighting under our banner and not the opposition.
Mr. Platner is not going to be a Fetterman nor is he going to be a Manchin. I know this because the guy obviously has ambitions and wants to get reelected (presuming he is elected first).
When I watched him interact with voters versus Gov. Mills, I realized that my support for Gov. Mills was, idk, default setting? Clearly Maine wants something different which is why Platner is was winning by a high enough % to force Mills out on $$$ grounds.
He will be the nominee, he will be the Senator, and I hope he outperforms the expectations of this board.
AND I hope our brothers and sisters here on this forum give credit when due and criticism when warranted.
