This thread just illustrates how scared the GOP is of a Platner win. I'm sure these posts are from a troll farm that's spewing this crap on websites all across America.

I feel like I’m in an alternate universe. But 10 yrs ago I would have laughed if you told me Donald Trump would win two terms of Presidency as a conservative republican. Strange times we are in.

Yeah it’s not a coincidence but a product of the aforementioned strange times.

What are Platner’s “personal ties to Israel” that you mentioned?

Pp is just trying to confuse the issues.

We all know what platners greatest sins are. And they’re not an old tattoo or mean behavior with one girlfriend

Unless you live in Maine your opinion of him is moot and, obviously, the electorate voted overwhelmingly for him.

I don’t disagree and fwiw I would have happily voted for him if I lived in Maine. I don’t. But I find the attacks on him very troubling, including those from my hometown newspaper that sees fit to publishing a scathing piece on him almost every day for the last several weeks. You’d think he was more important than the president himself.

Extended family is Jewish. A stepbrother lives in Jerusalem and is a senior correspondent and news analyst for Jerusalem Post. While this doesn’t necessarily make him “pro Israel” I doubt he would actually take a hard line against Israel either

This is an interesting but obvious twist. The oppos realize they can’t win on calling him anti semitic so now they’re pivoting to the other side. Now he may be ‘pro Israel!’ /s/

Let us know how this tracks, pp.
better than the ‘trust fund’ accusations? Sexting?

People are concerned about Maine because Senator Collins is very beatable. But Maine Democrats have chosen a very flawed candidate - from Nazi tattoos to domestic issues to lying about his background to mocking wounded soldiers and so on - and fear that Collins will win and allow Republicans to keep the Senate. So the Maine race is high stakes for everyone in the country. I think every sane person wishes that Democrats in Maine would have chosen a stronger candidate.

All of your statements are laughable exaggerations.

Agree, but let's focus on other races. Annie Andrews has just barely raised more than Lindsay Graham. It would be so much more satisfying to see him lose the Senate, rather than "Very Concerned" Collins.

But, PP above you is right. There is a MAGA strategy to focus all attention on this race, to divert attention. Let's not play along.

I hope he wins in November.

Other races you should focus on are those in Alaska, Iowa, Ohio, and Texas. Let’s not put tens of millions into trying to beat Lindsey Graham again.

Many people wish that Republicans would’ve chosen someone other than Trump from the large field of presidential candidates in the Republican primary when Trump first ran. But here we are.

What we keep telling you is that most people in Maine are not wildly troubled by his flaws. He’s got plenty of support here at home. It’s everyone else who won’t drop it.

Yes. I find all of this highly amusing considering many Trump voters said they voted for Trump ONLY because of the issues, and in spite of his awful character. Democrats piously slammed that explanation and painted all Republicans as nasty people because of their decision to vote for the issues rather than the person.

Here we have Democrats doing EXACTLY the same thing. They want a Democrat, so that's who they're voting for regardless of this dude's repulsive history. So I'll just laugh the next time some idiot criticizes the people who voted for Trump. The left has proven (yet again) what utter hypocrites they are.

What women allege abuse? The Zionist heritage foundation staffer?

That you think this is a reason to disbelieve Platner's ex-girlfriend simply reflects on you. "Believe all women," my a$$.

Platner is not running for president. As flawed a human being as he may be, his election in a state primary does not have the disastrous worldwide negative consequences that Trump’s election to the US presidency has had and will continue to have.
