Mills Campaign Blasts National Democrat Leaders For Leaving Her Out In The Cold

The embattled Janet Mills primary campaign for U.S. Senate says Democrat leader Chuck Schumer has done nothing to help her campaign.

That’s according to The Washington Post, which reports that Sen. Schumer has gone south on poor Janet due to her failure to catch fire in Maine.

Schumer initially got behind Mills as his candidate of choice over Graham Platner but she’s been lagging far behind despite party leadership claiming she’s the best bet against Republican Susan Collins.

The Post says Janet’s negative ads against Platner have fallen flat, that he remains far ahead in the polls.

“One recent poll conducted by a firm that also works for the committee that elects Senate Democrats found her lagging behind Platner by nearly 40 percentage points,” says Politics & Poll Tracker.

“Mills’ team believed an outside Democratic group would come in and help the governor blanket the airwaves to take down Platner, and have been disappointed that help has yet to come,” the Post reports.

“‘If you take Schumer at his word, and he was really high on Janet, then why wouldn’t they be in Maine in the beginning of the quarter? It boggles my mind,’ said one person close to her campaign.”

As of Thursday, Mills was running no TV ads at all, and her campaign declined to say whether she would re-up the attacks or switch strategies, the Post said.

Mills should take Uncle Chuck to court.

Mills is finding out she is merely a pawn in the Democratic Machine. Once she is no longer a useful idiot, she is out on her behind. Did she expect loyalty? She has shown none to the Maine Taxpayer, and is now receiving none in return. You’re welcome.

Had she worked for the people of Maine not the party or illegal invaders, she wouldn’t need help from the likes of flatlander Chuck Schumer.

The dems don’t want her in Washington. They are already falling apart there. They don’t need her help.

“Mills Campaign Blasts National Democrat Leaders For Leaving Her Out In The Cold” From what I have read in the Maine Wire, Janet and her lawyer Brother have been involved in the locating of several hundred illegal pot growing houses here in Maine. If she is cold, she could go to anyone of those nice warm places and eat Chinese food with the proprietors.
