Geiger graduated from college in 1977, which makes her at least 70. This suggestion isn’t even meant to be serious.

Are you suggesting that Graham might not be the best judge of who should run in Maine?

The Dems were serious about running a 78 year old against him.

She is the fake Platner choice so that the real choice can avoid being called the Platner choice.

Tbf I’m pretty confident she’s never raped anyone, which is more than what can be said about a bunch of male candidates.

Platner supporters before: Mills is too old! Platner supporters now: Geiger is experienced!

If you’re being accused of something, you have zero rights to pick or choose. Either you get out or taken to court.

How about base support on the person, not the age. There are 30 year olds with terrible policy ideas, being 30 doesn't outweigh the 70 year old being a better representative of their constituents. Experience also matters
