6. I don't like his brand of not ready...

And having seen it in the state I just evacuated from, among others, I'm not willing to take a chance on inexperience at this critical time.

I am for Mills for the same reasons I was for Biden and Pelosi, their experience is what pulled us out of the nightmare of orangeanus 1.0, we need that experience again for the same reasons. I'm not against young politicians, those with a sense of mission, but for the current decline in our nation, I don't want student drivers this time around, especially not in the Senate.

And, for reasons stated below*, I have many discomforts about Platner. I'm not convinced he's not a spoiler.
