Platner’s Pine Tree State Appeal Is All About The Leftist Saps Who Moved Here
If you want the bluntest of all perspectives on Platner and the identicide behind him, you simply have to catch up to a blue collar Mainer.

As the national media dance around Graham Platner’s peculiar popularity from afar, they have yet to accurately depict why he is even a viable candidate for Pine Tree State Democrats.
If all the political pundits of America’s “McNews” would spend some actual time here, they might just catch on that Platner is a stubborn version of the unelectable Kamala Harris, and that in the end it really is just all theater and in-your-face political nose-rubbing of blue dog Democrat incumbent Jared Golden.
And that like Biden, the hard left really doesn’t care about cutting off their nose to spite their face, as long as they can bench anyone wearing a jersey for progressive conservatism.
Because a state like Maine where its tallest structure is a deer stand, Mainers are likely to put back in office in November their veteran Washington moneymaker Susan Collins who has brought home the bacon for an impressive 29 years.
Albeit chronically dubbed a RINO, Collins is the longest serving female Republican Senator in U.S. history and has a perfect voting attendance, never once having missed a roll call vote in her three decades in service.
Dedication has not been lost to politics, at least just yet.
