I don't recall Bill Clinton making foolish comments about women essentially asking for it because they drank too much or dressed a certain way, or asking why black men don't tip, or saying a soldier killed in battle didn't deserve to live and on and on. It's endless with this guy, and a lot of Mainers feel we were cheated when Platner immediately dropped out of the debates after Janet Mills suspended her campaign.
The primary is June 9. Both David Costello and Janet Mills are highly qualified and on the ballot.
Obviously I'll vote for Platner if he wins the primary, but this is not a damn purity test.
Among other things, there's a major question about his judgment or lack thereof.
