Description

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the stunning collapse of Graham Platner’s Senate campaign as Democrats move swiftly to hold their own nominee accountable, drawing a sharp contrast with Republicans’ continued embrace of Donald Trump despite years of misconduct allegations and attacks on democracy. They analyze the fallout in Maine, the search for a replacement candidate, and what the scandal reveals about the different standards governing America’s two major parties. Kander and Gupta also dive into Trump’s latest foreign policy chaos, as he launches renewed military strikes on Iran, lashes out at U.S. allies, and injects fresh instability into an already volatile region. Plus, they discuss the rapidly evolving Michigan Senate race, Trump’s growing influence over the Republican Party, and the political battles that could define the next election.

Accusations that are nothing more than that accusations, yet the president has diddled little girls. Why the firestorm from accusations and no outrage about knowing people who have been convicted of significantly more serious crimes?

The wildest thing about the Platner situation is you can confidently say he’s still a far better person than Trump.

Ever heard of the presumption of innocence? Platner denied the accusations as being nothing but slander to destroy his political run. Not to mention that the whole story stinks to high heaven (the timing, the woman's story keeps changing and does not make much sense, she has interesting political ties and that she decided to keep silent for years without going to the authorities). It is also very interesting how as soon as Swalwell dipped from politics, all of his accusers and the story altogether surrounding him disappeared into thin air. Similarly to Tucker Carlson who got kicked from FOX for alleged sexual misconduct, but once he got fired, the entire matter was swept under the rug and everyone has since then behaved as if this never happened at all. Just memoryholed. I suppose that once you achieve your goal, getting rid of an uncomfortable person, the rest is irrelevant.

How about the process of actually conducting an investigation. There is not evidence!

If the Dem party in Maine chooses someone that Platner's voters are not ideologically aligned with, Collins will win.

I am not a Mainer, nor am I a Platner stan. I would not have voted for him in the primary. With that said, accusations, especially when stories change, do not prove wrong doing. If he didn't do it, I don't think he should drop out. I understand many victims/women don't go to the police until years later, or not at all, but this women has said she won't go to the police. Instead she has decided to do interviews for papers that are owned by right-ring papers.

If a candidate is credibly accused of rape that should be the end of the candidacy. With several credible accusations there is a huge problem.
