THIS is what I have been saying! It is why all the white male bro pundits are WRONG about the Mills campaign.
Did she lay down her weapons and walk away in the last month? YES.
But the money it took to get there was astronomical and NOT from Maine.
Platner’s campaign was far from the “grassroots” narrative and is actually a case of political consultants executing a plan to flood a *small state primary* with enough national cash to overwhelm the field.
And it worked. They bought the primary and cleared the field of viable opposition.
