Maine Democrats' Debate to Replace Graham Platner Sparks Question, "Say, Why Did We Get Rid of Graham Platner?"

Maine Democrats staged a Candidate Cattle Call last night.

The Context: Maine Democrats held a televised debate on July 16, 2026, as they sprint to replace Graham Platner, who withdrew from the race following sexual assault allegations. The newly nominated candidate will face long-time Republican Senator Susan Collins in the November 3 general election.

Immigration & ICE: The debate was heavily dominated by discussions of immigration and law enforcement, following a fatal shooting by an ICE agent in Biddeford just days prior. All participating candidates called for the abolition of ICE. Pressed for practical reforms under the current Trump administration, candidates advocated for mandatory body cameras, banning masks for agents, and stripping them of immunity.

The debate featured a diverse selection of morons, half-wits, and the mentally ill.

A good cross-section of the Democrat Party, then.

And of course one man who just showed up to say he wants to use the women's bathrooms and changing rooms.

5 Takeaways From a Maine Debate That Showed Replacing Platner Isn't Easy

Maine Democrats vying to become the state’s new Senate nominee met, and mostly agreed, at a debate filled with halting answers and stilted deliveries.

As Maine Democrats rush to replace Graham Platner with a new Senate nominee, eight candidates gathered on Thursday night for a debate that starkly showed the party's challenge in unseating Senator Susan Collins, the incumbent Republican.

The implosion of Mr. Platner, who dropped out days after being accused of rape, has left Maine Democrats choosing from a sparse buffet of candidates who either lost primaries for other offices this year or lack any traditional résumé to run for the Senate.

The contenders are sprinting through a truncated primary process that will culminate on July 25 with a nominating convention where roughly 600 party delegates will choose the nominee. The winner will plunge immediately into a race widely seen as crucial to the battle for control of Congress.

Onstage at a TV studio in Portland, all of the candidates were quick to highlight their anti-Trump bona fides and promoted a broad playbook of progressive policies to appeal to Democratic primary voters.

I think the cattle call consisted of two panels of four each.

Here are five takeaways from the hastily arranged debate, where the candidates had to be split up into two groups because there were so many of them:

Maine Democrats don't exactly have a deep bench.

The debate's first hour included four leading candidates with something notable in common: They all recently lost Democratic primaries for higher office in the state.

Halting answers. Convoluted responses and stilted deliveries. Former State Senator Troy Jackson, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows and Jordan Wood, a former congressional aide, all struggled to match the forceful message and rhetorical prowess of Mr. Platner, whose rallies electrified voters over the last year.


...

The candidates love Platner's policies but not the man.

All of the candidates tried to thread a fine needle on Thursday night: They wanted to embrace the grass-roots energy that Mr. Platner captured and the policies he ran on, while not condoning the behavior that drove him from the race.

For Mr. Jackson, that meant celebrating Mr. Platner's support for "Medicare for all" -- a policy Mr. Jackson has long supported. Dr. Shah pointed approvingly to Mr. Platner's long-stated desire to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Below, some highlights.

It's pretty amazing.

There was also an actual woman at the debate.

But she's a Democrat, so she's an idiot too.

And this Karen too.

There is! He's just also a rapist

Hundreds of war crimes against Iraqi civilians, including women and children? I sleep. One rape of a white woman? CANCEL THIS MONSTER NOW.

Troy IS Maine charisma. That dude is the guy you run into at the corner store and chat with for 10 minutes over a cheap coffee and he always has a story about something. My guy is real.

I’m not gonna lie, they all suck. I like Jackson, but not sure he has IT. His performance tonight could be better.

Ashely Webb gave me some good laughs!! Who the hell let it on the stage?!

Wood has grifted enough and Maine has made it clear over the last year they’re not interested.

This debate is more consequential than whatever the fuck trumps dementia rambling will be.

56 Ashley Webb was the first thing I saw on the news today and I may never be the same. I laughed and knew, I KNEW, Ace would have Ashley today!!!

I don't think there was an audience in Maine, but if there had been one I would have been lying in the aisle laughing hysterically before my arrest. He's got my vote.

At the very least Ashley is schizo as I recognized the eyes from my cousin (who did not wear a dress, but thought he wrote songs and could draw).

One summer day in FL the mailman delivered a rolled up scroll in Christmas wrapping paper to our mailbox from him. Similar to a Christmas Cracker with ends tied in paper ribbon.

It had been through the local airport to check for anthrax or worse as it reeked of cig smoke. There was an airport label of the inspection. I guess verification that I did not associate with terrorists.

It was a strange Grandma Moses drawing of a local outdoor rock concert I apparently attended with him and my brother (could not remember).

I nearly died laughing, in horror as the beachtown knew me, and called my mother. She'd gotten similar that week.

I'm glad Maine isn't so far gone that Ashley is the dude that corners you in the bathroom to talk about her period...just online. As nuts as he is, he actually didn't seem as insufferable and smug as someone like Lilly Tino that deliberately goes out to make normies uncomfortable.

221 I was very pessimistic about Collin's chances until the DEMs' Platner debacle. That means the DEM nominee will have lost a lot of campaign time-- wasted on Platner.

Collins, meanwhile, is reported to have an $8 million war chest. I think she must now be regarded as the favorite.

However Cooper (D) in NC is cruising for the GOP seat previously held by Tillis (R). Cooper leads by even more than Ossoff does in GA, even though Ossoff ia an incumbent.

The Senate race in MI is quite interesting, & might yield a GOP pickup. Esp so if the DEMs nominate that "abolish the police" jihadist El-Sayed. He seems to have a good chance of winning the DEM primary.

Heard a recent interview with somebody from (IIRC, The Media Research Center) reporting on a study they did of the Platner Nightmare in Maine.

Turns out that something like 54% of Americans get their news from one or more of the following 5th Column Commie Propaganda Mills: Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News, and NPR.

UNEXPECTEDLY, in analyzing the past coverage of those four rags of this Maine Senate race, the found virtually zero stories about the Platner Idiocies.

So, basically half the country presumably has no clue about those controversies ...

Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at July 17, 2026 02:56 PM (2YhKe)
________

She's been major characters in movies that made billions of dollars. She is a thing. I don't understand why she ever became a thing, but she is.

She's also an attractive "black" actress who everyone knows is a lefty, but she's smart enough to not go out there like Rachel Zegler and shit over the potential audience for her movies.

251 224 However Cooper (D) in NC is cruising for the GOP seat previously held by Tillis (R). Cooper leads by even more than Ossoff does in GA, even though Ossoff ia an incumbent.

Posted by: mnw at July 17, 2026 03:00 PM (RCjYY)

=====

Cooper is running behind Cunningham's numbers from summer of 2020, and Cunningham lost in 2020. NC summer polling is notoriously bad.

Republican gains in registrations (from 400,000 Dem to 10,000 GOP advantage) since Cooper last ran for statewide office put him at a disadvantage.

He last won statewide by 250,000 when there were 400,000 more Dems than GOP in the state.

And, federal races trend more towards pure partisan leaning rather than statewide, state-level races.

The 2026 senate race will be more likely to reflect the 2024 presidential result than anything else.

I suspect Whatley will get a win in the end.

See how accurate polling in the same time period in the same state have been in recent history.

Never, ever compare polls from outside the final month of a campaign to polls inside the final month of a campaign. Pollsters run them differently because they are "graded" on how accurate their final polls are, not the ones that were way, way wrong months before (the electorate shifted, my ass).

If she runs (anonymously sourced article about how she's "considering it", so grain of salt), I doubt she gets close to winning.

The Nancy Mace saga from her governor run has told me that the SC primary electorate isn't just running towards familiar names, and Graham's sister doesn't even share Graham's last name. Graham is her middle name, so name recognition will be hard to actually manifest for her.

Tillis sucks.

But everything is showing Cooper to be a shockingly weak candidate for someone who is supposedly a "popular former governor" which makes him as close to being an incumbent as you can be without being an incumbent.

His governorship also ended really badly with Helene fuck ups he was directly responsible for, and his policies as governor are tied intimately to the killing if Ilyana.

======

Well, first Obama destroyed the Democrat Party. Then, to make up for it, they opened the borders, opened the floodgates of government grant money to NGOs, and started fortifying elections like Chicago through the DNC in other Democrat strongholds in order to make up for it.

And then, weakened and without a message beyond, "Trump is bad because Russia" because Hillary Clinton was deeply unlikeable and awful, they had no candidate who could appeal to anyone other than Bernie Sanders, who could have gone off the reservation given the powers of the presidency (and isn't even a Democrat anyway).

So, they elevated the only possible anti-Bernie left late in the primary process, Biden, and shut down the planet's economy and stoked BLM riots for months in order to convince America to vote for Biden.

When that didn't work, even after months of mail in ballot fraud, they shut down ballot counting in six states in the middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall to barely give Biden a victory.

And, when you take a step back and look at it all, there's only one conclusion to draw:

It's because Trump said pussy.

She's not former governor Mark Sanford running in a 15 person race in SC-1.

She doesn't even share her brother's last name.

How much would it kill Hillary to see AOC win the Presidency?
Posted by: m

=================

I think Hillary's already been killed:

1 - Michelle Obama's popularity and wealth

2 - Sasha and Malia's slaggy bullshit and they're probably bigger "gets" than Chelsea

3 - Tim Kaine continues in the senate while she's unemployed

4 - Watching Jill Biden be such a POS fuckup

5 - She set up Kamala for years and Kamala blew it

I think she kibbitzes her t.v. all day. "I could have done it better! Shut up, you idiot! If I'd made it to the White House, NONE of these people would be losing now. I'd have built a machine that would have lasted."

Q: Would you approve of ending daylight savings?

BELLOWS: I enjoy saving daylight and I enjoy spending daylight.

I just wish that the daylight savings bank had more branches and more ATM machines in Maine's bait stores.

Sanford probably has a better chance than Graham's sister.

But he has no chance.

Sanford will place 5th. Graham's sister will place 8th.

433 I think I have figured it all out, y'all.

In 2020 we emerged into a new dynamic and did not know. Some of us survived normally but grumpier and more sarcastic yet more beautiful. Some became ugly trans at rapid speed.

We're watching an old series called The Last Ship on Netflix with Eric Dane (who died in real life recently). The bad people were the immunes for awhile and were taking over the world. Eric Dane was on a ship trying to find the cure during the apocalypse.

I love this show but mostly a hunky Australian guy. However, I do think we crossed the rubicon and were unaware in 2020 as nothing has been the same.

My life is mostly very good in the new paradigm. I was somehow immune but not wanting to take over the world as queen.

Others become trans or think homo intruder thoughts like Platner and Ashley Webb.
