“For any open-minded voter in Maine’

There are no open minded voters-

Folks have decided already-

It’s gonna come down to the number of phony ballots the Dens can produce and deliver at the right time.

That’s all this is now.

Flat out, in-your-face, Demon-rat fraud, with spineless pube-ies doing nothing.
OR
Trumpsters getting out the vote and FIGHTING for a fair count.

It’s outrages that these two said no before even knowing who nominee is.
I expectd it from Murkowski she is a bought and paid for agent for PP.

vote to confirm BEFORE election day ... think recess appointment followed by lame duck confirmation vote

1. It is important that we win; important for this particular seat, but more so for the future of the country

2. we need a strong majority on the Court to swat down Democrat shenanigans with counting the vote

3. we need this seat in play on election day to get out the vote

Recess appointment with post-election vote on confirmation helps all three

Collins needs Maine Republican voter support.

Of course, which is why she needs to act like a Republican. If she runs as a moderate Dem the actual moderate dem beats her.

Folks, again this is fear porn.
Collins is going to vote for Trump’s nominee.
She will lose by double digits if she doesn’t.

Independence and moderation doesn't win elections. Sorry. Firm convictions and beliefs and strong support for them wins elections.

“Moderation” is the name of the game in the U.S. Senate. There aren’t even a half-dozen Senators with firm convictions and beliefs.

If they had firm convictions and beliefs they wouldn’t be sitting in a legislative body where they sell themselves out with boring regularity.

My understanding is that “abstaining” is the same as voting NO.

The best thing for these GOP weak sisters to do is simply stay home and don’t show up for a vote.

I think the best thing they could do is he right thing, Vote for the qualified female candidate that Trump will nominate.

Both of “the ladies” voted to confirm Barrett to the Court of Appeals just three years ago. It would be disingenuous to vote against her now if she is the nominee. They will have to either vote yes or abstain on Barrett, which is a good reason that she should be the nominee.

And the party leadership needs to crack down on this arrogant, blackmailing B-tch who keeps placating liberals instead of doing what is right - including supporting her party.

Placating liberals loses elections for most Republicans. Collins is has a chance to make up the 10% she's down, not by being a better moderate Democrat, but by being a supporter for putting a qualified woman on the court.

That is why she might change her mind and vote for whoever the candidate is.

The President has a 4 year term....not 3 1/2.

The girls' logic defies reality.

No offense - but that’s just off the wall. Politicians who want to win elections need to hew closely to the views of a majority of their voters. Elected officials are not military officers. They have no authority to punish voters who hold heterodox views or harangue them until they do.

Conscientious objectors. Total BS. Romney was one, who lived in France as a so called Mormon spreading the word to French Mormons. Bush JR went AWOL. He should have have been dishonorably discharged as he was an officer. Our military has been trashed since Clinton’s coed BCT. Obama ordered the CG of the Army Infantry School to pass two females in Ranger School. We need the draft back. Every male needs to be subject to the draft at 19-22 unless a 1S in college. Yes, wealthy types get their son or sons out or on duty far from war. I despised it when my old man got 2 MD’s sons to Germany in 67-68.
