ME-SEN: Platner says Democratic Party 'trying to destroy my life'

13. He apparently doesn't understand that anything a Democrat

doing oppo research can find, the Republicans can find and would use. Did he fail to think that his tattoo, his reddit comments and his time with Blackwater would not surface?

When he complains that these are "things he is not has has never been", he is ignoring that he DID get a Nazi tattoo and kept it for years and he has not disputed the comments were not his. Sorry, people have the right to make inferences from what he has done and said.

As to "not having the right to quit", what is he talking about. He is running for Senator against other Democrats and he hopes against Collins, this is not something he has some divine responsibility to do.

In fact, if polls are done against Collins and he is worse than Mills or generic Democrat, he not only has the right, but possibly the responsibility to quit.

To me the comment on quitting is creepy as if he views himself as messianic or a superhero, who has to win to make things right.
