Unreal that dems are circling the wagon for this piece of trash against, statistically speaking, the most moderate senator of the 21st century

quote:

Graham Platner’s insurgent bid for Senate in Maine was gathering steam last summer when his campaign was confronted with some potentially explosive information.

Mr. Platner’s wife, Amy Gertner, told a senior campaign aide that he had been exchanging sexual messages with multiple other women.


NYT


The fact that dems are standing by him shows that they were never serious about their “moral concerns” re: Trump.

If *susan Collins* is too right wing for you compared to an anti semitic socialist adulterer who mocks wounded soldiers, then you are too far gone


But board moderates like VOR, Powerman, and crystal preserves will rationalize it

The old "at this point what difference does it make" rule is in play, I see.

Interesting that the NYT is running this.

I freely admit that I consider Trump's personal indiscretions secondary to his vision and agenda. I'd certainly prefer a man of high integrity in office, but there aren't many, if any, who are both moral and have the force of will to get anything done. So, I'm content to vote for a man (Trump) who has some force of will to try and change things (understanding the other branches are working against him, and thus limiting him). In the same way, I'd rather choose a surgeon or attorney who is a flawed, sinful man over a less talented but moral man... if the sinful man is more competent and capable ensuring a positive outcome.

My point here is to say I'm not going to explicity shite on Platner for being a slimy piece of shite to his wife. I think Platner sucks in far more meaningful ways than just being sleazy. I'm more curious that the Left is going to turn a blind eye to his being an immoral a-hole when it tried to hammer Trump for it.

Again, interesting the NYT ran with this. I know they like to change the headlines / focus every 5 days or so. So maybe by reporting this early, they can say they reported it and ignore it down the home stretch when the potential to influence voters matters more. It would perhaps be more damaging to report it in October. Also gives Platner a chance to say he's worked through his issues (which will be bullshite).

What's the story with him watching some video of a firefight in Afghanistan or something and pulling for the US soldier to get killed?
