Some of the worst nonsense I have seen lately has been about Graham Platner. Reporting what he has said and done does not amount to attacks and witch hunts. The man has been behaved oddly. Personally, I am far more concerned about him being a guns fanatic. His comments about his military adventures - "I read too much Hemingway" - aren't going to help a lot with promoting him as a veteran. He has important blemishes and denying them can only make matters worse.
Reading comments posted about Platner ought to cause a great deal of concern about his chances in November. He has been criticized often from his left. Maine is hardly a Democratic state. One of my Piscataquis County cousins is Facebook friends with Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump but NOT with his own brother and sister! There is a HUGE right wing population in the northern and eastern two-thirds of the state. For Platner to beat Collins, he is going to need united Democratic support. Those numerous critical comments from his left do not encourage optimism. A lot of work needs to be done.
