So Platner got in first, and built his own movement in Maine---
while Gov. Mills had to be dragged in kicking and screaming
(very quietly, because she's old), but came too late in the primary campaign...
Donald Trump, through his two presumed victories in presidential elections,
has made it quite clear, and was presumably validated by the voters
that "previous experience in public office"
is no longer a valid requirement for a candidate for ANY office whatsoever!
Yeah, one could mention that one candidate or another
"has no previous experience in office",
but that argument is "lost in the noise" if they are out working the campaign trail...
(There may have been some other Democrats on the Maine primary ballot,
but I didn't hear enough about them to have any idea now who they were,
other than Janet Mills, of course..)
