Those, here, complaining about this speech are being illogical and don'/t understand the importance of this speech, nor why it had to be a long one.
What Collins expertly did, was lay out a complete story line, that excoriated not only what the DEMS did and have been doing still, why all of the PAID protestors are morons, as are the ones who haven't been paid, and the hows and whys of what this whole has and could have done, to forever destroy the Senate, SCOTUS, and this nation.
Yes, it was long, yes it was delivered by someone who just droned on with a quaky voice; however, it was both lawyerly and pedantic, which is what was badly needed to be said...point by point, by point.
OTOH...the chanting lefty lunatics don't and won't care. The truth and the hard, cold facts no longer matter. But as far as history is concerned,this was a GREAT speech, given by the right person, at the right time!
The key is we won this battle with the independents and Centrist Democrats, that’s going to pay big dividends in November.
Agreed. This is specifically what Collins will be remembered for. Sure, she’ll be remembered generally as a wishy-washy RINO, but this speech and her vote will be a huge part of her legacy.
