Jim Messina on Graham Platner: ‘You’re Seeing a Star Is Born’

Pam Key9 Jun 20263 1:24 Tuesday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Democratic strategist and campaign manager for Obama’s 2012 reelection, Jim Messina, said we were seeing a star being born in Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner (D).

Messina said, “Well, first of all, I thought that was a master class. I don’t know if he wrote that or who wrote that, but that was generally good. And the fact that he one year ago wasn’t a politician, and then he delivers that in front of the basically the entire country. I thought that was, you know, you’re seeing a star is born and you’re seeing how a guy who no one had heard of a year ago, even in Maine, no one had heard of of him just beat the incumbent governor, in a primary. And so I thought it was amazing. I, too, thought the first two minutes of that speech was amazing when he said, if you believe we can change the system, then you got to believe that people can change.”

“...I just saw a clip of this guy he looked and sounded like an over dramatic mess....”

That’s a feature, not a hinderence. Communists love it, cherish it and promote it!

Amazing how quick Democrats can pivot to support the guy who had little Nazi death camp tattoos after saying Nazis are bad for the last however many years.

There is a photo of Jim Messina from several years ago. He looks very odd at times...

I’ve seen a few clips of him as well. I wasn’t sure how to describe his speeches, but that is a very good way.

I never listened to him before. He sounds and looks like a rather dumb effeminate white trash bum.

That’s definitely part of it as well. To me, it’s like a combination of the two he was forced fed.

On the other hand, Kenny Loggins looks pretty good these days.

For a second I thought it was Kenny Loggins’ Jim Messina. But no.
