"A candidate who nicknames himself a Nazi salute should never have his name on a ballot."
I do so love American politics as a spectator sport. Now people can argue over what displays of fealty to Nazism are permissible and impermissible. Names? Gestures? Tattoos? Jewelry?

If Illinois won't have you (isn't hating Illinois Nazis an accepted thing) - there's always Alaska.
But even in Alaska a potential candidate's name is enough to have him denied from running.
Alaska election official threatens to disqualify Republican who shares name with Sen. Dan Sullivan
The namesake challenger’s candidacy has caused a stir in one of the most prominent U.S. Senate races in the country.

Democrats melting down over Graham Platner after making excuses for every flaw that turned up is just chef's kiss this week. Apparently when it comes to accusations of rape, the difference between credible/unacceptable and not-credible/ignorable is the accuser's politics. All that stuff that was in front of them for weeks, denial after denial, excuse after excuse, and now their collective come-to-Jesus moment with his numbers slipping against Collins. Hardly an ethical backbone in sight.

That is small potatoes compared to the rumour mongering and speculation as to the present condition of senior Senator Mitch McConnell.

Except that article, dated today, is already obsolete. Several people have reported they had conversations with McConnell.
A small fringe of conservatives are spinning up conspiracies. Those are the small potatoes.
Several prominent Democratic politicians and supporters have backtracked on Platner endorsements, and the possibility of throwing away an opportunity to contest a competitive Senate seat has many more than a little disturbed. The irony of course is they're citing reasons that were being widely aired for weeks, and for which the response was variations of "we don't care".

Did they have really have conversations with him or is that Republican BS?

Conversations can be one way. I’ve been on the receiving end and the sending end as well
It’s sad that things have gotten to the point where it’s even necessary and valid to ask that question…. But they have.
Kentucky’s governor has requested some update on McConnell’s health due to the governor’s role should it be necessary to follow a can act by death or incapacitation. To my mind that’s the perfect avenue by which to put this to bed one way or another.
