Platner has nothing to gain from dropping out lol, I hate him but maybe he’ll stay in?
No shot, he's cut off from the money and his staff will likely quit, also he's fully open to prosecution for what he did: drunk driving, home invasion, andremoved, all it takes is a DA to press charges and he could be in handcuffs tomorrow
That only applies to little people, not intelligence assets. But I don’t know.
Low Intelligence asset. There, I said it.
Agents do get cut off when they fuck up too bad sometimes, it's not like the feds actually care about them anyway. He seems like he's served his purpose for the time being, maybe?
The optimal play would be for him to stay until the very last minute before dropping out so the Democrats can have an excuse for why they can't field a new candidate and mobilize in time.
