MARK PENN: Democrats ignored every warning sign in Graham Platner’s Senate disaster

Federalist No. 62, written by James Madison, outlines the nature of the Senate and the qualifications of senators — they were older, more removed from politics, with six-year staggered terms, and meant to cool the hot-tempered passions of the House of Representatives. Guess Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner and the party organizers didn’t read that one.

They are recruiting senators with exactly the opposite qualifications — inexperienced, reckless, flamboyant and unstable.
