“Collins might be the best that can come out of Maine.”
How is it then that Paul LePage, one of the most conservative governors in the nation, could get elected to two terms as Maine’s governor?
Maine cities are libs.
The Second Congressional District of Maine....80% of the land mass of the state....is more conservative than the First Congressional in the Southeast corner of the state.....which is basically, North Massachusetts.
President Trump won the Second District by 10 points in 2016 and by a slightly lower margin in 2020. He received one Electoral Vote each time.
Susan Collins won because the democrat candidate, Sarah Gideon, Maine’s then House Speaker, is a forty-something version of AOC, complete with little girl voice. Together, they spent 100 million dollars on the Senate race in 2020.
Maine is a Constitutional Carry state, too.
