5. I really like Graham Plattner, and even now, I still do.

The guy had real struggles with PTSD and deserves more understanding than he is getting. What is so unfortunate is that he looks like a Baptist Sunday School teacher and a Mormon Missionary all rolled into one when compared with any one of two dozen Republicans, most notably the immoral rapist Trump, or the thug Paxton. My guess is that there might be some truth under what are a lot of sensational accusations, and while it does point to the fact that Democrats are megamiles ahead of the GOP on moral standards, its still very unfair to Plattner.

But the bottom line is that Maine has to make sure, for the sake of the rest of the country, that they retire the incompetent liar Collins.

Don't turn this into a circus, like the party did with Biden in 2024. Same goes for Plattner, use your head and realize this isn't something you can recover from. Get out and let someone else win this campaign.
