32. He's a bit ptoblematic. I think we can agree on that.

But ya know what? He's going to win the primary.

The MAGAts do not care about their candidates' flaws. They will elect that porange piece of shit or Concerned Collins. If we play the play the "candidate isn't good enough" game, we will will lose. It killed Harris' chances in 2024. It'll kill us now.

Time to focus on the forest, rather than the trees. I won;t try to defend his flaws. I'll just say "So what?" He'll beat Concerned Collins, and THAT is what matters.

Support Platner, flaws and all.
