Washington (CNN)Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins said she won't endorse GOP presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump until he starts behaving more "presidential."
"I would love to be able to endorse Donald Trump, but he really has to change the approach that he's taken," she told CNN's Chris Cuomo on Wednesday on "New Day." "If I were giving him advice, I would tell him he should own up to making mistakes. He should apologize to the judge and to the American people. And he should stop insulting people."

Ryan LizzaVerified account @RyanLizza NEWS: GOP Senator Susan Collins tells me she is leaving open the possibility of supporting Hillary Clinton over Trump.
Beth @BethPMeier @RyanLizza I can't say I'm surprised. She's a Republican with some sense.

Katherine Arabis @KatherineArabis @RyanLizza @jbarro welcome to the club Susan
Srv @vsarah99 @RyanLizza What's sad is how few are making the same choice - most chose party over country.
Oslowe Knownas @Osloweknownas .@RyanLizza See if you can get @SenatorCollins to commit to moving to Canada please.
Tantine @tant1ne @RyanLizza @CahnEmily $100 bucks says she'll publicly support Hillary before Bernie does.
How about you change?
Who in the hell wants anything to do with traitor first class Collins who should have switched to the Dem party decades ago?
She’d rather he lost his race in a way that helped her win hers.
Just another selfish RINO that wants things to stay as they are.
WOW! An endorsement from susan collins? He could only hope. NOT! And, it probably wouldn’t help hildabama any either.
Trump gets 40% of Burnie supporters. Hillary gets 40% of the RINOs. Nothing changes.
Isn’t Susan a Demwit.
You’re really shocked that Susan Collins would support Hillary, it would be more shocking if she didn’t.
One valuable service Trump has provided is to expose some of the Democrats who have deluded their voters that they are Republicans.
Oh, just go support Hillary, Susan, we know it’s a “V-Thing” with you.
Or not.
Hilarious, I’d bet Suzie thinks Hillary is acting “presidential.”
Collins has voted along with the democrats way too often. Those died in the wool republicats can pound sand.. she and the rest are the reason Trump is here and winning. “Man up”!
Why does Trump (or anyone) need this old crone’s endorsement?
She wants him to change to a groveling, apologizing approach like McCain and Romney. We certainly can’t have someone who actually fights back when under attack, we just can’t have it. Fighting back was not part of the agreement between the GOP and the dems, we would put up a sap like Bush, and let Hillary use him as a punching bag, and then the country would be blessed by having the first female president. #genitaliamatters
People like this don’t understand that they have little influence to swing to Trump.
Doesn’t matter Plenty of time. This is “news” just because it’s pointless Trump bashing.
