12. Plattner resonates because he's a regular person

who has lived his life and now he wants to bring reality to Washington. Lots of people have had difficult times in their lives that they've had to work through just like Plattner has. It's important for dems nationally to keep their eye on the prize. They want to complain about Plattner in light of the thug/worst candidate to ever run for office who now occupies the White House? Dems at the national level need to check their priorities. The reality is women in 22 states are now dying from formerly treatable miscarriages because Susan Collins ignored Brett Kavanaugh's lower court anti choice rulings to put Kavanaugh on the SCOTUS which resulted in the overturning of Roe vs Wade.. Collins needs to be defeated.
