*outside your damn mind* [View all]


Between Platner and Collins, there's no doubt who one would choose if one wanted the U.S. to continue.

Platner.

People should feel free to launch any criticisms they like, but if that criticism ends with an ambivalence as between Platner and Collins, sorry, you're *outside your damn mind*.

I wasn't going to comment on this because it's not what I do and I just live next door to Maine and vacation there—but Collins began her political career lying about term-limiting herself and has been craven ever since. Platner has had a hard life and gets the emergency we're in.

I understand the concerns over Platner—but no, as a Trump presidential historian, I can tell you they're not even in the *universe* of what we see in Trump and Paxton.

Watch the great video his wife released, listen to his speeches, and consider that America is nearing its end.
