    Platner’s popular because of his positions and the fact that he’s a working class laborer, which are more appealing to the poor and middle class, and the fact that the other option is another 80 year-old conservative Democrat with one foot in the grave, and that’s all the Democrats have thrown against Susan Collins and these conservatives “centrists” always lose.

    Platner’s their best shot to actually flip the seat, but the Dem establishment doesn’t want that because their corporate donors don’t want that.
