Barney Frank Compares Graham Platner to Trump’s Capacity to ‘Making the Most’ out of People’s Anger

FRANK: “Look, Donald Trump, we originally thought was a joke, and then he turned out to be very good at one thing exploiting voter discontent. And so he won an election based on that. And since then, it‘s gone back to being a joke. The man is imploding. He has no program that he‘s seeking to adopt. I think partner actually shares with Trump this capacity for, uh, making the most out of, out of, uh, the anger that people feel. Uh, what I‘m afraid of is that he won‘t be able to translate that into enough votes, but, uh, I am concerned that among some in my party, there‘s a kind of, there has been a flavor of the month tendency. So that somebody who‘s new and hadn‘t been able to do much and somehow preferred over people who understand the importance of hard work to get controversial things adopted.”
