39. I'd never tell you who to vote for. I'm in California where lots of people have opinions on who I should vote for.

And I welcome them all.

But you’re not from Maine, so I don’t even have an opinion about your candidate(s). I do have one about one of theirs, but I’m done expressing that opinion.

Maine’s gonna do what they’re gonna do. And I encourage them to vote for the Democratic candidate in the general election.

You do what you’re going to do. But if this little exercise was to scold people who are talking about Maine…well I’m done talking about Maine.
