“Are those Republicans rightly concerned about Graham Platner’s behavior toward adult women and his problematic choice of tattoos (when young and drunk) not even more concerned with Trump’s 38,000 mentions in the redacted Epstein files thus far released?

With his having been adjudicated a rapist and, separately, accused of raping a 13-year-old?

With his having had dinner (when sober and in his seventies) with white nationalist Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes?

Platner, had he been elected, would have been one-hundredth of one-half of one-third of the government.

Trump is a full third and largely controls the other two.

It does not bode well for the rest of us that, according to one close observer, everything he touches dies.“ —Andrew Tobias
