I can't provide link, as a Fox affiliate is only one showing it so far.
Popped up when I searched "breaking news".

(4,634 posts)Seems straight forward even with the sarcasm. And that is he didnt go far enough.
Like Hillary with the Deplorable comment, they are all Deplorable, if qualifying with a percentage, maybe 99.9%.

(4,634 posts)Yeah, you are being completely clear.
I brainfarted between your title, the previous OP, and your message.
Apologies.

(12,630 posts)I can see this easily escalating between Fetterman and Platner. Platner had said previously that Fetterman was the bane of his existence bc he was so frequently asked about their similarities, the rough and tough working class champions. Interestingly, Platner mentioned one difference was that if he were to win Maine's senate seat, he would never be dressed in anything less than a suit and tie.
Out of respect for the institution.
Wonder if that set Fetterman off? Or is Fetterman deliberately trying to bait Platner for his 'friends' on the other side of the aisle? Reportedly, Big John has become very chummy with Dave McCormick.
Hummmm.
Platner needs to be careful. There's definitely a target on his back.

(42,737 posts)Too many people are saying that he's "just another DINO like Fetterman." I've seen it posted on DU a few times.

(26,751 posts)He probably polls at near zero in Platner's, so a pretty safe strategy.

(2,222 posts)proud of that fact.
He's scarcely better than a Republican at this point.

Takes one to know one I suppose.
Before this post get altered on for not "supporting Democrats," I want to tell you a little bit about myself
I am a lifelong Democrat. I started volunteering on campaigns at 13, collecting signatures to get Bill Bradley on the ballot in New York when he ran for president. (Go Knicks.) I have worked on campaigns as both a volunteer and a paid staff member in six states at all levels of the ballot, from city council races to presidential elections. I've slept in strangers' basements. I've gotten on a plane to a different state to start work with 24 hours' notice. I am also Jewish. I am absolutely disgusted that the party I've been a member of my entire life is embracing a guy who literally had an SS tattoo.

(24,075 posts)candidate not in a favorable way per tons of articles ya think they would have polling out on him.
Anyone know what his current status is on polling?
I come to the conclusion that Ms. Concern may have a problem.
