Silver’s “game theory” seems to assume Platners goal is to be Senator. What if that’s off the table and the issue is whether he campaigns for 5 months, makes his points and loses with some dignity vs quits into humiliated oblivion? https://t.co/6Bv3ArJ2Ss

Don’t see how this gets Platner to step aside. Seems like he has the leverage. All he has to do to screw the Dem party is … nothing. What else is he going to do with his life? https://t.co/niA1rzlXCl
