    Primary in Maine was a disaster Democrats nominated a sexual offender to face Susan Collins, after his past was revealed he with drew. 

    4 Democrats took up the cause to face Collins but all with drew and now support Troy as the presumptive nominee...

    Now this match up is a complete coin flip. And the power of the gavel and co.ittee chairs are left with this race... Senate comes down to 50 50 with vance as the tie breaker... If Collins seat flips and Jon is off in Georgia remains then the Democrats will have 51 seats in Senate....

    Best of luck how ever this unfolds... Expect to see Bernie and AOC in troys corner. Versus big oil and their gal Susie ...

    Hell of a match up let the games begin ...

    Not a fan of Collins, do you think Troy has a decent chance? What would you handicap his odds at?

    Would imagine he has to be a large underdog due to the late start and Collins being the incumbent.

    Interested in your two cents because if I remember correctly, you are or were in Maine for a while?

    Yep as of now, Maine is seen likely as a toss up in the Senate race. However, the DK Prediction Makets has listed DEMS -203 vs REP +163 to win in the November Maine Senate Race.

    @Europa

    No it’s not a toss up! You read interpretations of biased polls! The conclusions are wrong! That being said Trump did get a bump for the recent Cease Fire that has gone side ways! If Trump can keep inflation down & keep casualties low from the War it comes down to Troy’s campaign, he should win as long as he doesn’t screw up. Collins is a terrible candidate, she has no platform. If Inflation increases Troy’s got it locked down.

    It politics and opinion especially public opinion dictates results. What ever the facts are this is a popularity contest . 

    Susan collins mistake was kavanaugh vote she voted for someone accused of sexual misconduct. That went on to overturn roe vs wade. Outside of this gaping hole in her conduct then she was undefeatable. Trump trade war government shut downs ice shooting in Biddeford and Minneapolis and the fact she will be over 80 all make it a now possible 

    For her seat to flip but the Democrats must have a candidate that speaks to workers and progressive social liberals alike. Hence Troy Jackson very similar candidate to Platner makes since the most delegates.

    Susan Collins, and Troy both come from aroostook county both moderates and Both have good careers in Public service Troy who I feel is 59 is going to do well with young voters and Trump is pulling with him his supporters about 30 percent of Maine is always trump forever. But there is a growing tide of independent voters who are disgusted with his Epstein involvement, his economy the price of gas his wars without end and the conduct of his agents. 

    Susan collins rubber stamp approval of trump administration is a likely point to defeat. Betting markets having Troy win neg 203 is a very telling sign of what is to come. Most voters will have their mind made up by August 31st ....

    At that point Collins and Troy will have a good understanding of where they are and what will happen come November. The other big clash will be georgia and Jon Osloff seat. That shaping up as a tossup as well... The Democrats need both to win the Senate.

    Again Graham Platner is a Huge loss for Democrats in Maine, they had a Good Candidate but Radical Dems didn’t want to take the time & give him the benefit of our.

    Collins is an Establishment Republican the Establishment Republicans are getting wiped out. And to a lesser degree the Democrats Establishment are getting wiped out, 60% of Dems are Now Socialist, there’s major infighting in the Democrat Party, so much so Trump is a nothing burger.
    Trump is imploding he’s destroying himself, there’s no need to waste time & resources bashing Trump when Dems will need their resources to battle each other.

    Maine Dems are Not Radical Dems they don’t care Graham Platner blew off women after 1 night stands. Collins is toast in Maine because she’s a Terrible Senator who also Opposed Trump too much. Maine people care about the economy & taxes, Collins didn’t deliver! Trump & what’s left of his base still control Republican elections, they HATE Susan Collins!

    Polymarket lied about its orgins! The Palantir crew founded PolyMarket to sway public Opinion. Privy Council Members of the King of England are often in the betting house of England during election time, all of those members were early in Investors in out Hackable Voting Machines.

    George Soros & Koby Bryan (Lakers) were in businesses together in an Asian Sportsbook.

    I make a killing from these facts! They use gambling lines to impact elections but you have to understand what’s going on! Is it to fix an election? &/or is it to raise Money? Dumb Dumb Wealthy Donors check betting lines to determine the situation.

    Palantir is not just AI for Military it’s AI to run Humans Worldwide!

    Also the Polling Industry is Super Corrupt there’s only a handful of known Honest Pollsters. If you want to get accurate information from Polls you have to understand the Bias in each poll then analyze the Data or You could fund & conduct your own poll. Reading Pollsters conclusions is getting your Mind Screwed!

    Susan Collins took money from those in the Trump Epstein files & then voted against the release of the files.

    She's gotta go!

    A good candidate (someone who can articulate BS that influences) can pull themselves out of a hole. Susan Collins is incapable of communicating a defense. She relies on Talking Points she has no Substance. Minus any vote machine hacking she will lose Maine assuming her opponent doesn’t have a dark past.

    So I looked at some polls today and Nature is right, it’s a coin flip race right now. One poll has Jackson at 49 and Collins at 46, but most consider that within the margin of error which is fair.

    How many more ICE shootings/murders is Collins willing to tolerate while President Epstein makes everything cost more with his stupid war and even dumber (illegal) tariffs?

    @Sidehatch As I stated the Mainstream polls are biased & inaccurate. I’m telling you Again Again Collins will lose comfortably. +3 or -3 is in the margin of Error for Amateurs & fake pollsters! Jackson +3 is a lot & accurate, Maine is a Pain to poll. I told you Congressional district 2 is where Collins needs Republican votes & she won’t get enough votes to win.

    All that being said what’s about to happen is Real Honest Pollsters are beginning to release data proving what I’ve been telling you guys for weeks. The corrupt clowns you guys think are legit Pollsters are about to follow suit, they have no choice or they’ll look like fools.

    Again this election will be a Poor showing for Democrats & Republicans but Dems will win the House & Senate. Even if Dems win Senate to be +2 or +3 seats it will still be a poor result.

    Joe Biden did nothing about Epstein! Both Dems & Republicans are implicated in the Epstein crimes this matters a lot. JD Vance just went on Joe Rogan spewing nonsense! JD Vance was the Ohio Senator, Epstein was Powerful in Ohio, Les Wexner is the most Powerful man in Ohio, Ohio is #4 in AI Data Centers, Palantir Peter Thiel created JD Vance, Palantir backers created Polymarket, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was caught stating she’s ramming Data Centers down Michigan peeps throats. Notice Dem Cali Democrat Congressman Ro Khanna did nothing about Epstein files when Joe Biden was POTUS but led the charge when Trump became POTUS. It’s not Partisan it’s a deadly conspiracy against all people on Earth.

    Epstein+Data Centers+Repubs & Dems+Prediction Markets+Israel+Crypto Currency & Possibly WW3. It’s all connected & ANY Senator Dem or Republican opposed to Any of the Above will Not Win in November.

    Trump is committing career suicide vs releasing the Epstein Files, he’s choosing Impeachment over ending Iran War. His boys could end up in Financial ruin or worse because of Trump’s stance on Iran & Epstein!

    USA will leave NATO to back Israel when Israel attacks Turkey. Iran will be hit with Tactical nukes when that happens & Iran retaliates things will make more sense assuming you read my posts.

    @Sidehatch

    What are you talking about Natures analysis is wrong! Dems need more than 2 seats & GA Jon Osloff is running away with his senate race at +8!

    Republicans have a 53 to 47 Senate Seat Advantage that’s +3. The Republican VP settles any tie breakers! Dems need to turn 4 red seats blue to take control of the Senate @+1! The only vulnerable Dem Senate seat is Michigan, if El-Sayed defeats Stevens whose a terrible candidate Republican candidate Mike Rogers has no chance.

    Republicans have 6 Vulnerable Senate seats NC, Alaska, Ohio, Iowa, Maine, & Texas! NC, Alaska, Ohio, & Maine are safe wins for Dems, Iowa is a toss up & Texas is safe for Republicans because Paxton is a Good Candidate for Repubs.

    Florida should turn Blue for the Senate & Governor if the Iran War gets out of hand & we’re living with $5 gallon gas! Graham’s sister is a terrible candidate to replace him with. Nebraska could have an Independent Senator!

    Latinos are leaving the Republic Party = Florida & Texas will be a challenge for Republicans. Paxton is a good candidate for Texas. The Florida Republican candidates suck balls as I discussed in other posts Good Candidates can Overcome some losses.

    Some Independent voters who voted for Trump are showing up voting for Dems in the Prelims & none worth mentioning are voting in Republican prelims.

    Furthermore if the outcome of the Mid terms is already decided (it is) how are Dems & Repubs going to raise money? Ohio has a long history of election cheating by both Parties that’s why I took the time to connect the dots in Ohio, I’m concerned Republicans will cheat in Ohio.

    PORTLAND (WGME) – Just two days after Maine Democrats chose Troy Jackson to challenge Senator Susan Collins, a Maine Republican is claiming Jackson is ineligible to run under state election laws.

    At this point, the deadline has passed for Maine Democrats to put another U.S. Senate candidate on the November ballot. If the ineligibility claims turn out to be valid, it could raise some major questions for Democrats in a highly contested race.

    Courts will decide if Troy can be on the ballot....

    The betting markets should be responding soon....

    It looks like coming back to even money....

    As a gambler good time to lock in Collins as 170 plus she should be neg 110 by the weekend....
