I sat this AM...watching about 15 minutes of Fox News. It was mostly over this Maine situation with Platner.....the Democratic candidate.
Graham Cunningham Platner....for those not following the state contest....is an American oyster farmer and former Marine Corps member....who is a candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 2026 U.S. Senate election in Maine, to replace Republican senator Susan Collins.
It apparently got noticed that he has a Nazi tatto on his chest, and some former girlfriends have come out to say he's a bit weird.
So Fox folks went to Maine voters, and asked one guy to explain things. His comment: "If we want folks that are representing us from the working class, they're not necessarily going to have a groomed and perfect political record."
Being from Alabama....I can understand this belief. You want a guy who might binge-drink once in a while....who is on his 3rd marriage....did six months of duty in the National Guard before being discharged for rage-issues....is a on-and-off member of the Klan....has six non-felony charges in Fort Lauderdale for bad-boy behavior.....fakes some Baptist religion commitment but has been baptized eight different times by eight different churches, and claims to have Bigfoot evidence.
The problem....if you think about it....working-class people have a unlimited amount of 'FUN'....without worrying about being a candidate for something. Then one day, you cross the line....coming off a binge-drinking episode....realizing you announced you are running for mayor or senator.
