Ron Filipkowski's take on the Platner situation

Maybe the consultants can do a better job vetting the candidates they recruit. Especially ones who came out of nowhere. Otherwise it looks like you either knowingly scammed us for a grift, you're willfully negligent or grossly incompetent. The consultant class sucks. A lot.

I think I agree with his assessment and would place the blame there rather than on the voters of Maine.

The revelations of what Platner was and is were weekly news since or before April. The national Dem Party knew almost everything, including at least one credible rape accusation, before Maine’s primary. Platner was not the only Dem candidate, the former governor of Maine was also running. The Dem Party just wanted to to support the DSA’s candidate.

Somewhat more to the point, Maine voters knew. The credible rape accusation was reported in the NYT several days before Primary day. Whatever the timing of individual voters’ votes, every voter knew at least some of the problems that should have sunk his candidacy.

They have a micro-managerial mindset, with everything.

Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

God help us if they ever take power again.

That's why it's imprtant to vote and win this midterm. History may be on the side of the out-of-power party in midterms, but I think Democrats are vulnerable due to their dysfunction (e.g. Platner), and general unpopularity. The next two (likely) Supreme vacancies are probably on the line.

In the last day or two I’ve seen how “before April” the revelations started coming. Apparently his Nazi totenkopf tattoo was outed in October last year and the Progs who howled that Trump was Nazi-saluting every time he raised his hand during a speech above his shoulder suddenly didn’t care about a real Nazi symbol.

Maybe the consultants can do a better job vetting the candidates they recruit. Especially ones who came out of nowhere. Otherwise it looks like you either knowingly scammed us for a grift, you're willfully negligent or grossly incompetent. The consultant class sucks. A lot.

Cliff note version.

They did NAZI that coming?

About that "consultant"...

Apparently, he has had issues of his own. Congresswoman Summer Lee kicked him out of her campaign due to multiple accusations of sexual misconduct.

Also, I found this quote in WSJ amusing:

Dan Moraff rushed vetting of the Maine Senate candidate. He says he’s trying to blow up the way Democrats run campaigns.

Well, he may have succeeded, just not in the way he wished.

It's tempting to say "birds of a feather flock together", but that's really insulting to birds in this case.
