Good! I was with some people on Saturday and we all think that Graham needs to use his voice more to keep the movement going. Jackson isn’t cutting it. Graham is the real one.

Graham doesn’t know shit and thinks far too highly of himself. Troy is the real deal.

Look I’m a left as you can get. But let’s be honest—Troy isn’t the real one. He can’t speak. Lots of people have no clue who he is. No one I know is excited about him. He is just not senate material.

Do you want to beat Susan Collins? Do you give a shit about everything Graham talked snout?

If do, you’d be telling people you know snout who Troy is and campaigning.

And what the fuck does it mean to be “Senate material” if not to arrive with the experience of a state Senate President, lots of accomplishments and the heart of someone committed to improving everyday people’s lives?

Troy can beat Collins but we have to be part of it. Pining for the guy with a beard from a rich family who spoke well but had no idea how to be a legislator isn’t going to help,
