2. So annoying to have already received 4 texts begging for $ today just from her.

I blocked each one, but other texts came from different numbers.

I ordinarily would support women’s seeking office (all else being equal) but she is 77 and Platner seems to be a good candidate with a good chance of beating Collins.

(I’m also a senior and believe people should be judged as individuals. But in the case of politics, there has to be a realistic assessment of how voters perceive candidates.)
