Collins is a “rock” in Maine...no way a Dem takes it. She is a very powerful Senator, head of the Appropriations Committee...and she brings home the bacon.
Collins has won some tough races. I see her as the adult in the room should the Planter fella advance. Her next big challenge will be walking the tight rope should a SCOTUS retirement come up this summer. In that case the nominee should be an elected conservative in the senate that would expose more the leftist hatred. Cruz or the younger guys from Arkansas/Missouri fit the bill. Of course there’s my favorite-JD. That’s throwing them a curve. Our ‘28 POTUS bench is strong. JD has taken some manufactured flack in the last few days. The Collins speech in favor of Kavanaugh was heroic.
