Stick a Fork in Graham Platner, He's Done

If Maine Democrats were already nervous, they should be in full panic mode now. Just days after Graham Platner sat down with Senate Democrats and told them straight to their faces that nothing new would come out about him, the New York Times dropped an investigative report that should be the end of his candidacy.
The Times relied on more than two dozen sources, including six of Platner’s former romantic partners, whose stories are backed up by texts, social media messages, and diary entries. The picture that emerged was rather ugly: heavy drinking, serial infidelity, emotional abuse, and physical intimidation.
Platner promised his party this moment would never arrive. He lied.
...
It’s damning stuff. He’s arguably survived quite a few scandals already, but can he survive this story?
Fox News’s Jesse Watters doesn’t think so.
"It's over. He can't survive it,” Watters said on The Five Thursday. “They have women on the record calling him a brute. He was rough with them. He twisted their arms behind their back, locked them in closets, grabbed them by the wrist, roughed them up, and left marks. I mean, you can't survive that. No one can survive that. The guy's an animal. He's unstable. He might even be mentally ill."
Bill Clinton survived exposure of his assaults and rapes, so I do not think these revelations, of themselves, will doom Platner. What I think will is that the Dem Party gave their lead MSM-shill the go-ahead to expose Platner. Part of Clinton's survival was the Dem Party and their MSM-shills circling their wagons around Clinton. Platner lost that.
I wish the R running against him were not Queen RINO.
