She's always debated in the past, and her 2020 race was a lot tougher.

He is highly intelligent. His voice, tone, cadence are off the charts. My take is he will overcome any problems. Plus, he blames the opposition. Democrats often struggle understanding let alone articulating that aspect of competitive politics.

Collins looks like 3 sheets before Parkinsons.

I found out that I am not allowed to even suggest that the Democratic Party run Miles Taylor for president. That suggestion is not permitted here.

On the other hand it’s OK to trash a Democrat who won the primary for Senator.

I am confused. I’m not from Maine but the good people from Maine picked their candidate.

I support Democrats.

this leaves only David Costello and Platner. How is David Costello polling against Platner?

I know that he did it because *reasons*, but he has a hand in creating the problem, and it seems that a gay-bashing, rape apologist, anti-assault-weapons-ban, racist, former Republican voter is not part of the solution.

ME has ranked choice voting, and two other Democrats remain on the ballot. We'll see what happens on June 9.

confirmed he admits to being a (former) Republican.

At least it’s all adding up, especially his previous statements about knowing Trump voters so well.

Did he also say that “left/left of center” mostly voted for Collin’s in the past?? This is still confusing, but most of the hunches about him are proving fairly accurate, and that’s based on his own comments.
