Graham Platner had more red flags than a prison soccer match

57. There were better choices than either Mills or Platner, but once again

leadership at Maine Dem state Party and also US Dem Senate level failed to either support and/or recruit them. They instead hitched their wagon to Mills, who took multiple actions and had multiple stances that are and were very unpopular within our Party. I was saying that for months here. It was a bad electoral decision in terms of countering Platner.

That was shown to be the case by the Maine voters themselves in the primary (and that includes evidence both before and after Mills suspended her campaign and even with Platner mired in previous scandals).
