‘GOP’s Bush Is High On Platner – Because The Democrat Oyster King Is Easier For Collins To Beat:’ Breitbart

Conservative businessman and Maine gubernatorial candidate Jonathan Bush tells Breitbart News the GOP has a “much better chance”of holding its U.S. Senate seat against Democrat Graham Platner than vs. Janet Mills.

“He’s a silly boy,” Bush said in a Saturday interview with Breitbart. “He went to private school, and got kicked out of Hotchkiss, so he went to another private school, and had unsuccessful experience after unsuccessful experience.

“Now he sells oysters to his mom, which is sort of hilarious, that he’s in a getup like a Maine fisherman,” Bush told Breitbart’s Elizabeth Weibel. “He wouldn’t last five minutes as a Maine fisherman, and yet he wants to navigate policy for the United States of America. It’s beautiful if you’re running against him, and so we’re very excited for Susan Collins, and of course for our national Senate.”

Bush said there is a “much better chance of holding this seat now” that Mills has quit the race.

So. We have people who are free spirited with a utopian view of the world who vote for Democrats. We have people who have inherited alot of money who find it necessary to be “counter culturish” aka Trustafarians who mostly vote for Democrats while they are “resisting”… We have people who are in the labor organizing business that benefit from the “skim” off the top of dues (especially tax payer funded civil servants) that vote for Democrats. We have a population that used to vote Democrat, but lost their paper mill jobs due to dues revenue greed (private sector) that will not likely take a shine to the Platner campaign/show.

How astute of you there Jon.
I’m no rocket scientist , but I don’t think Platner has a snowball’s chance against Collins either .
Maine voters CANT BE THAT STUPID .
