Final post-mortem from me on the Platner thing

[WhiskeyGrinder]

1. .

1.) I'm glad he is dropping out, because I won't have to be torn between wanting Collins out and having to root for a possible rapist among other things.

2. If he had stayed in, I would have rooted for him because this country is in crisis and no matter how bad a senator he might have been, likely would have been better than the only viable alternative.

okay but these two together makes it sound like if he had stayed in, you would have rooted for a rapist.
