In reply to the discussion: Maine Democratic Party Says Platner Will Have 'No Role' in Next Nominee [View all]Karma13612
(5,064 posts)I saw a video of a young gal* with long blonde hair being very firm about the party not allowing any Platner input. I think its a big mistake. Hear me out:
In Maine Democratic Partys attempt to be open and honest about a potential replacement candidate, they are shooting themselves in the foot by not assuring the Platner supporters that Platners platform will be embraced by the next candidate. After all, its the platform that they want. What he stressed and campaigned on. Voters made it clear they dont want Mills. Period. Now the party has to decide which Dem gubernatorial candidate is better as the Governor and which gubernatorial candidate can be harvested to run as the US Senator. Thats how I see it. Platner is toxic, but his policies resonated with the voters. You cant ignore that and expect to beat Collins in November.
*This gal was apparently from the Maine Democratic Party and represented their stance which sounded like they want to wipe away any evidence that Platner ever existed.
