In reply to the discussion: Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her [View all]2naSalit
(105,240 posts)13. I grew up...
Ont the coast, moved away in my early teens. Came back last year, now in the north woods and loving it. Coming home wasn't all that hard after all.
I voted in Maine for the first time this year and I was hoping for Mills to take the nomination. She is the only state-wide elected candidate who has won more than once. She said that all the 'novices' who had run against collins in the past lost to her.
If what's his name stays in, we'll see collins win again.

The accusations against Platner are much different from those against Franken.

I have had qualms (expressed here) from the first, but honestly, if I had been sitting by Molly Jong Fast

I actually see the timing as a positive and it gives her more credibility...

Amazing all of this comes out when Platner runs and he is leading in the polls. Timing means nothing.

Every Trumpublican condemning Platner must be confronted on ignoring more, and more egregious, accusations against Trump
