    NYT living up to their name, asking the real questions like why voters would prefer someone who in their interpersonal life made the mistakes of cheating and of dating a conservative operative, as well as who was a worse person 15 years ago, versus someone with a long record of pretending to care about women and helping to steal supreme court positions which directly led to incalculable suffering of women across the country.

    “Why do these people suddenly care about results and actual harm?!” We’ve told them how they feel and it’s not working. People are supposed to forget who ruined their life after the month’s news cycle. We do."

    I’m not surprised. Even if Platner is a risk and ends up like Fetterman, he isn’t going to be worse than Collins.

      In an interview with Fox News taped earlier on Monday, Ms. Collins cast herself as a supporter of abortion rights, saying she disagreed with the decision to eliminate federal abortion rights. But she said Roe v. Wade would have been overturned even if Mr. Kavanaugh had not been confirmed.

      “Sure I voted for the people who overturned it, but it’s not my fault and totally would have happened anyway.”
