Now that Graham Platner is out of the Maine Senate race, the Democrats are looking at replacing him on the ballot with somebody who reportedly has some issues of his own. 

Good luck with that one, Democrats!

Definitely not! But the fact that The Atlantic thinks that should be the takeaway is quite telling.
