General Discussion

I should say that I understand when they are offering criticism of the Republican establishment and its decisions, but not sure why we should embrace their divisionary tactics. I’m no Platner fan, but if one thinks David French is out to help guide the Democratic Party to moral greatness rather than reelecting Collins, there are plenty of National Review article by him attacking the most vocal Democratic Party leaders and most anything the Democratic Party stands for. I’m not forgiving Platner for the Nazi tattoo or the misogynist remarks nor am I confidant in his experience, but I get the feeling for some those really aren’t the issues. For them they seem to be fortuitous disqualifiers for a candidate that appeared antithetical to the institutional center/right. Now that Mills dropped out, I’m hoping we get a chance to see if Platner will continue his redemption trajectory once elected rather than an entire Supreme Court confirmed by Susan Collins.
