    Gottheimer urged Platner to step aside and allow another Democratic candidate to take on Collins. “I don’t understand how somebody like this is going to represent our party and I think the best action would be for him to leave and get somebody else who’s qualified onto the ballot.”

    Josh Gottheimer supports the Iran war and co-sponsored a bill defining criticism of Israel as an offense against Jewish people. It’s not Platner who we need to worry about tainting the party’s brand.

          Grundle, taint, gooch, chode… Pick your poison.

          Although, I did learn the other year that many people think of a chode as a short fat dick, and I had heard that is was often on gender lines where more women have that definition. Anecdotally, of the ~10 people I surveyed, it heald mostly true, which was kind of wild but not at all binding.

      Oh yeah, because switching candidates mid-stream worked out so well the last time.

      We’ve got a candidate with a D next to his name who is actually WINNING, and all the leadership can think about is how to stop him. They should be making all their other candidates say the same things.

      This why Dems have such a low approval rating among their own members.
