No. Far better for Democrats to choose someone in the mold of Angus King to run against Susan Collins. Even if he could win statewide, which is unlikely, Jared Golden would quickly become another Manchin-like senator. We can do better, but Collins will be difficult to unseat.

He’s not as bad as Manchin. But Troy Jackson would be better.

Better, and less risky for the House seat. Plus, I don't think we can have someone in the race who won't take the gloves off against Collins.

Golden would vote more like Angus King than like Manchin. If he voted like Manchin, he'd get primaried and any replacement level Dem would be favored to win the general.
