31. I don't think he is anti Semitic

I just think he did the macho thing in his Army unit and got the tattoo.

To me that was not a red flag. It was low class to post the video bashing his fellow soldier but the real red flags were the credible reports of sexual harassment and even rape.

I know how important it is for us Democrats to take the Senate. However, surely there are better candidates in Maine that doesn't have his baggage.

The MAGA crowd will beat him up everyday in the media if he stays in. Not much chance of him winning.
