      >Never can we recall a candidate from either major political party whose sole mission seems to be to divide our nation, divide our communities and, often, divide families and friendships. Whether it is race, religion, gender, ethnicity or country of origin, Trump continues to pit us against each other in his frightening, cynical quest to get elected again.  

      >In contrast, we have seen in Harris a collaborative and capable leader committed to bringing people together, and we believe her when she says that she is committed to being a president for all Americans, regardless of political party. 

      >Each of us has had the honor of traveling the state of Maine to recruit and support candidates and to talk about the values that a big-tent Republican Party once stood for. Trump’s MAGA Republican Party is unrecognizable to us.

      This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.bangordailynews.com/2024/09/23/opinion/opinion-contributor/we-chaired-the-maine-republican-party-we-endorse-kamala-harris-for-president/) reduced by 82%. (I’m a bot)

      > As former chairs of the Maine Republican Party, we enthusiastically endorse Kamala Harris for president of the United States.

      > On the debate stage in Philadelphia, Trump refused to say whether he wants Ukraine to prevail against Russian aggression, a position previous generations of Republican leaders would have found unthinkable, just like Trump's cozying up to dictators like Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orban and Kim Jong Un. European allies are waiting to see if their faith in America is going to be affirmed by a Harris victory or undermined by a Trump win.

      > We also know that the Republican Party in Maine is still home to many honest, hardworking, principled people who – more than any party label – want what is best for our state and nation.

      > More than 100 high-ranking Republican officials from past administrations have signed a letter calling Trump “unfit to serve again as president, or indeed in any office of public trust.”

      The reason he needs a new VP this time around is that he almost got his previous VP lynched. He’s a terrible leader. Luckily for him, there are plenty of terrible followers.

      Can you ask Susan Collins if she thinks trump learned his lesson?

      Oh no.

      The gov lies then the dem media back up their lies!

      You haven’t realized the pattern of smoke & mirrors also?

      Do your job and vote Susan Collins out. I can’t believe that state thought Joe Biden was not too liberal but Susan Collins who lied about her view of pro-choice is considered mainstream for Maine

      Maine, I like the cut of your jib.

      It’s one of my possible retirement locations when I GTFO of FL after decades. I’d have left long ago but have had family obligations, job and my wife’s home business that make it tough to just move. Yep, doing the reverse of most retirees and you can suck it Trebek if you think its weird.

      Hell after living here under Desantis it’ll be nuts to even have a semi-sane state government.

      This is great. I lived in Maine for the first 25 years of my life. I moved to Richmond VA and by the time I moved it was blue. I am now in NC and I’d love nothing more than to help turn this state blue too! 9 members of my family are voting blue and are looking forward to it.
