He'll beat Collins.

Democrats need to get a grip, and take the threat Trump poses to American democracy seriously. We messed around, dragged feet, lolligagged, and delayed and obfuscated for the first two years Biden was in office when we had house and senate majorities and cringed and clutched pearls when someone suggested aggressive action to stop Trump because it "looked too political." We need more Graham Platners who will be the kind of bold risk takers necessary to push the GOP aside and out of the way and put a stop to this madness.
