1. I wish she had asked Kim Villanueva if NOW will endorse Platner or Collins if he wins the nomination.

And if the answer is they won't endorse anyone, the follow up needs to be "Wouldn't that diminish Platner's support, and make a Collins return to the Senate more likely?"

I also wish some public figures would point out that things are not always as they appear and make the comparison to Franken, where the Senate became a mob that pushed him out when later reporting by Jane Mayer made it clear that things were absolutely not how they initially appeared.

Or maybe they could refer to analyses of the totality of his Reddit posts that make it pretty clear the offensive ones selected for condemnation are NOT part of a pattern.
