According to the Press Herald, Graham Platner has spent more than $4 million promoting himself to Maine voters. In not one of those ads has he offered even a single idea of what he would do to fix the problems he says are plaguing his fellow citizens.
He attacks “billionaires,” of which Maine has few, and fellow “politicians,” of which Maine seems to have many. If he has no ideas that he is prepared to present, he gives us no reason to vote for him. If he is not smart enough to figure that out, he is not smart enough to lead us.
