Shes just got a price, one to be negotiated. Keep melting the phones on these senators.

only 80% of American want ID at the polls, so of course Democrats oppose it.

This headline is dead wrong. Listen to her answer on the video. She actually said she liked the changes made to the hosue bill before it passed it.

Moderator please correct or remove this thread.

Since she faces a contested primary, you can call her office and tell her that if she votes against it you will contribute to her primary opponent, and then follow through and send her a copy of the receipt

She is not facing a constested primary. The only candidate collecting signatures will probably not be able to complete the task and has no money if he did.

She didn’t win because of rank choice voting.

Her democrat opponents each election cycle are so bad, Collins looks good by comparison, which she is NOT.

The only office holder who won because of rank choice voting in Maine was (retiring) Congressman Jared Golden, in 2018, even though the GOP incumbent received 2,200 more votes.

If she loses her primary, Janet mills wins the seat. The only reason Susan might win is her seniority. I’d like the seat for numbers since we may lose North Carolina and Ohio. We need to keep 50!

Listen people. The only thing we should ask of a blue state rino is to come up with a Profile in Courage vote every once in a while. Do it for the team. She did it with the Kavanaugh vote. This is another but it really isn’t. Democrats want voter ID too.

Elon has indicated that those GOP who are more concerned about pushing their own agenda than fixing the USA need to watch their back.

Don’t be dumb. I just looked at her voting record. I could only find Trump’s first term, but Collins voted with Trump 94% of the time and she votes with Republicans for all the arcane Senate rules.

She is not perfect, but I would rather have someone voting on our side 90% of the time instead of 0% of the time. She is the best we will get from Maine.

Stop your sophomoric whining about Collins. No, she is not a meat eating conservative, but the alternative in Maine is much worse.

She only votes when her vote doesn’t matter. It’s the 6% where she goes rouge.

“At this point, I suspect reform won’t clear the House because of closeted RINOs.”

It already did clear the House...yesterday, 2/11/2026.

Don’t be mean

She has a crappy reputation. She always has to be begged to vote with the right. Always

“She did not support Donald Trump in 2016 and voted to convict him during his 2021 impeachment. She also recently voted against a 2025 bill supported by the Trump administration to cut government spending.”

Sorry for misreading it.

Never write double negatives.

I was in ameeting with her state director this afternoon where he indicated she supported Voter ID and would probably be a yes in the end.

Her answer to the reporter was typical of her style and should not be an indicator of her full position.

Yes the issue was he was the only source for the video

So I posted his (wrong) comments and linked to the video where she does make clear that she’s not a complete No...

Elon will not back Collins with money but her opponent will get his money.
