As someone who actually lived in Maine when Collins first ran (and who worked for her opponent in that campaign), I think being honest people should acknowledge that Collins was encouraged by her constituents to run for a third term - and a fourth and fifth - and that she has enjoyed crossover support and strong support from swing voters for decades.
It’s not inconsistent to have made a campaign promise regarding self imposed term limits and to fail to keep the promise when your constituents are begging you to stay in office and the results at the ballot box suggest it’s a widely held position.

They tried the Nazi card.
They tried the fake trust fund card
Didn’t work. So this is their next attempt.
It is so very very obvious.
And what’s scary to me is it’s not just Republicans trying to take him down. It’s Democrats too. The NYT runs a story about this guy every other day now, recycling the same old story from the ex gf.
There is no need to further debate his ‘abuse’. It’s exaggerated nonsense and it does not matter.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
"A guy who served his country" because he wanted to kill. Don't make this guy out to be some hero because he served. Many veterans are heros. Not this scumbag.
You, my dear, are ignoring all the evidence. Credible evidence.
He's not just been "mean." He has been abusive. And, he lies about it. Just like the evidence - and plenty of it - that he lied about knowing the meaning of his tattoo.
Tell yourself whatever you need to in order to support this fraud. Toss aside all your strongly held beliefs for how ever long you have held them.
Plenty others are doing the same thing. And, the support you and other Democrats are showing for this creep will come back to bite you.
I can't stand the guy. Not only because of what he has done and what he has said, but because he doesn't have an honest bone in his body. And, because he is using PTSD as a crutch for his abhorrent behavior.
And, because of his absolutely batshit policy positions.
He is a hero. Unlike president bone spurs. He served our country and he deserves respect for it. Shame on you for doing otherwise.
The best you can come up with is an ex girlfriend Republican operative who says his behavior was ‘unsettling’? After he came back from multiple tours of duty? Of course that would affect someone. How dare you attack a veteran like that.
The fact is you just can’t stand that he doesn’t support your chosen causes.

Yes. Someone who serves our country in the armed forces is a hero.

These are coordinated attacks

I almost hope he does win. He's everything Democrats deserve.
I still can't get past him saying he wanted to RAPE a home intruder to show his dominance. That's... something.

It’s almost as if these anti-Platner posts are coordinated.
