Longtime Republican incumbent Senator Susan Collins was unseated by Democrat Troy Jackson in Maine's Senate race on Tuesday evening.
RINO Susan Collins served five consecutive terms as a Maine Senator.
Troy Jackson, the Democrat who married his cousin, booted Susan Collins.
BREAKING: The Fox News Decision Desk can project that Democrat Troy Jackson will defeat Republican Sen. Susan Collins in Maine.
The state has backed Democrats in every presidential election since 1992, but voters also elected Republican Susan Collins to five consecutive Senate terms. That record ends tonight.

I’m unhappy that a Democrat won and happy a RINO lost.
Appears the electorate was seeking new, young blood. Putting the old timers out to pasture.

Rank smell cheating
DEEP STATE VICTORIOUS

Republicans are stupid.
They should have held their fire against Platner until it was too late to replace him.
Every person or measure I voted for failed .
I got a new type of “I voted” sticker.
The weather was nice .
Dem clutches on Virginia tighten .
Many of the stories about Platner were coming from the left-wing media including I believe the New York Times.
They should have held their fire against Platner until it was too late to replace him."
I agree with your first sentence. I wonder, however, was it the Republicans that took out Platner, or was it the Democrats?
You really believe that democrat voters wouldn’t crawl over broken glass to vote for whoever has the D beside their name? They wouldn’t care about his character.
Republicans are the only people dumb enough to hold themselves a little bit accountable. Republicans are the only ones dumb enough to intentionally torpedo their own side if they don’t get exactly what they want. Republicans are short-sighted. There’s an entire collectivist electorate out there that will pull the lever for whatever D candidate is nominated.
The RINO voted with Trump majority of times.
Guess how many times the elected Democrat will vote with Trump? Big Fat Zero! I am very unhappy the RINO lost. Trump will get ZERO legislation through next 2 years. But you are happy the RINO lost? Tells me a lot about you.
Considering what happened in the rest of the country it would have made no difference...............
Buh bye!
I seem to remember stories back in June stating that the DNC was bankrupt and they had no money or support.
Republicans had no say as to what the dimocrats did with replacing platner so STOP blaming them. The entire state of Maine is run by the unhinged left and are never held accountable. They have no character or morals.
That should be a badge is shame!!!
They voted for socialism. And we are going to be stuck with it.
The Free State of Florida stands alone? Build a wall, a moat filled with gators.
“And we are going to be stuck with it.” And we are going to be stuck PAYING MONEY for it.
