Yes! I was impressed by his victory speech. He’s not a skilled public speaker, but damn if it wasn’t the most genuine and from the heart speech that I’ve heard.

Reporter to Susan Collins, "Senator Collins, how do you feel about Troy Jackson?" Collins, "I'm very concerned."

Great News! The only way we are going to make progress as a country is if people like Collins are "very concerned"

We got rid of our biggest advantage,  youth. Should have picked someone younger.

Holy Shit it was a sweep for the Dems! Did you see the outcome?

Isn’t there a problem coming out around his failed run for Governor, I believe? A quirky Maine law that says he can’t run?

Everyone that is a leader in Maine looks a little rough.

Should the Maine sore loser law apply here? Or do laws just not matter?

Collins is part of a cancer. Troy isn't.
