Agree. The Dem/RINO coalition is the majority. Collins is up in 2020 and the other two I think 2022, with McCain likely departing the stage much earlier.

They only pull the stunts they do know because they can threaten to switch parties.
Remember Jumping Jim Jeffords? When the GOP retook control, he wanted back and we told him to stick it.
How quickly we forget, Jumping Jim and shared power, har, har, har.
