31. He was doing pretty well until he started in with the cliches

Leave Epstein and billionaires out of it. In 2020, Susan Collin got over 417,000 votes, a bare 50,98% majority. More than 416,900 of those votes did NOT come from billionaires or Epstein friends. We all know what we are against. He needs to tell Maine what he is FOR. That is the way to start convincing the Collins voter to become former Collins voters. Collins is not going to be campaigning promoting billionaires or sex offenders. Platner shouldn't be dwelling on them either. Trump nominated Kavanaugh (does ANYone even believe Trump knew who Kavanaugh was before Miller and Bannon told him?), but it wasn't his vote that sealed Kavanaugh's confirmation. That was Collins. Run against Collins and her string of horrible behavior in the Senate. That is the path to victory.
