Are you a little bit suspicious about the timing of Platner’s ex girlfriends accusation

1. Platner was starting to fall behind Susan Collins last week after leading in the polls all year
2. Dems desperately need to beat Collins to have a chance of retaking the Senate.
3. So, the dems unleash the accusations right as Platner shows weakness in the polls forcing Platner out with one week left to change candidates.
In other words, if the accusations were just a week and a half later, the dems would be stuck with Platner, Collins holds the seat and the senate stays Republican.
Well played, Dems. Well played
And don’t think the same thing isn’t happening in Michigan.
Dems just plug and play their candidates

Her name was already out there but the media refused to press it until the polls started looking bad. All of this is by careful design, just like Swallwell.

No. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a person’s scandal in their personal life used against them politically at an opportune time and a campaign.

I think the Dems are done in Maine. Michigan too and not that they ever had a chance in Texas. The Dems have FAFO. Americans just aren't that left wing.

The idea of “believe all women” is the most retarded and narcissistic thing ever.

Believe ALL of anything or anyone is a bold as frick statement

He got Biden'd. Polls showed he was crashing, party leaders put the hit out. They had all this information from day one, just like with Biden and his onset dementia.

I think the GOP had this in their back pocket waiting for October. The dems did a preemptive strike (like Biden debating in June).

Not "a little bit suspicious" at all. They legit do do this. The bastions of "mUh democracy" they are. And every left leaning poster on here supports the scummy behavior.

True, but I love it throwing back at the Dems every time someone on "their side" has a woman come out and accuse one of them. It just shows what hypocrites they are.

The Dems were suppressing this story right up until they needed it to push him out. They are as phony as a 3.50 bill.

Oh I completely agree. My statement is mainly in the direction of the moronic left.

“Believe all women” is such a ludicrous statement…and with that comes lunacy. Who knew?!

The democrats are only gonna be able to run gays and women pretty soon because their main voter base is women


If a man comes out and says he was raped by a woman or another man candidate the democratic women voter base will laugh at them and call them a wuss

Personally, I think it's a solid (and good) strateegery.

Run your guy who has a reasonable chance to win. Watch him slip up and fall in the polls. Bring in some new blood for some new momentum. It gives them a shot; whereas with Platner, they were going to more than likely lose.

No different than what DNC did with Biden and Kamala in 24

All of these accusations are planned and orchestrated to maximize effect whether on the right or left.
They have had this info and the Dems probably orchestrated all of it to get him out of the race. But it could well be the GOP trickling this stuff out to get Collins a win. If it was the Dems, they probably would've done this earlier in the primary to get him out.
Point being that all of these leaks, new info, accusations are always orchestrated. It's like they just now decide to come forward at the perfect time to destroy a campaign.

So now that he has dropped out, is she going to continue to vigorously pursue this alleged crime against Platner? No. She will go away & do as she is told.

While he was filming interviews, saying things he had been saying, such as (related to mud) - "... and the the GOP will probably lie"... LOLOLOL..

This person called it, when he accused Susan Collins of being 'weak and corrupt', and how he would change all of that...

Now he has been forced out, he is so pissed, he called democrats out in his own 11 minute announcement, blaming it on the DNC.

"Tell me how you know they didn't pay him to step down, without telling me"... LMAO

I so wanted him to go the distance.

There are some troubling facts in this case:

- the “girlfriend” invited him over on the night of the incident
- the girlfriend said she wanted a “glute massage”
- after Platner was in his truck driving over the girlfriend said maybe not
- the girlfriend left the front door open

Platner admitted to being drunk and was apparently forceful in his sexual approach after that. Even with the invitations from her Platner was in the wrong and should receive some punishment/legal judgment . Cases like this are frequently plea bargained with some sort of conviction on selected charges. Because of this Platner was DOA politically.

The real question is what big moneyed interests were behind the timing of these accusations and how were the lawyers who set this up paid?

Hint, AIPAC donations from Israel first donors:

Susan Collins - $1.8 million dollars

Graham Platner - no record of any contributions from these groups

You connect the dots…..
