I supported her until she failed to demonstrate the ability to win the primary.

She did not put in effort. If you dispute this, cool. We'll disagree (again).

Platner is, however, doing the leg work and fighting. And I suspect he is going to win.

And yeah, that is hope and vapors. Yeah, it is optimism. But it is because if you listen to him talk he is saying the right words to get me fired up.

I'll submit one word: filibuster.

Edit: He sure is winning the primary.
