… are not PhD’s in history. GP is not a perfect human being. Go ahead, let the perfect be the enemy of the good enough and let the USA continue to fall apart.

This is hardball we fight with the Repubs, not badminton. First mission is to gain control of the Senate and House. GP, with his now fully mature brain (which for males doesn’t happen until we reach about 25), has a D next to his name. He’s running against a long entrenched Repub. As of now he appears to support many progressive goals. I’d vote for him (if I lived in Maine).
