I don’t take any of these people as credible when they think Susan Collins is close to being a good option for women’s rights.

Who the f*** are politicos and the news media to judge anybody's lives? Platner broke no laws -- that puts him head and shoulders above his critics.

Thank you for covering Susan Collins statement more thoroughly, the lack of understanding around systemic abuse of its citizens is astounding.

This was worse than something out of The National Enquirer. No sexual assault accusations, no verbal assault. Only one former girlfriend willing to go on the record who happens to be a Republican operative who did work with Susan Collins to message Brent Cavinough

Rick Wilson from the Lincoln Project called Fifield a GOP operative and said this is the kind of hit job he would have done for GOP campaigns. He’s not in love with Platner’s politics, but he wants to beat Collins. Why don’t centrist Dems want to win elections?
