No entity in modern history has show itself to be more self righteous and hypocritical.
Certainly none here could claim affinity for this cluster of sub-humanity.
“But I think his rhetoric is exactly what the American people are tired of. They dont want this hyperpartisanship. They want us to work together and they want us to get things done.
Whatever she paid the consultancy for that line, it was a fraud.
She should ask for her money back.
RINOs like Collins are what the American people are tired of.
susan, susan, susan.... when are you going to be intelligent enough to avoid cameras!?!?
“Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine)............”
Speaking of “NOT helpful”.
How do these brain dead RINOS get elected time and time again? Collins and Pelosi are senile and should retire immediately.
Has this dimwit been asleep the last 1 1/2 years? We need the Alzheimer Patients in Congress made PUBLIC TODAY!!!
Collins is not helpful to the Republican Conservative caucus.
Refusing to vote for a bill that supports Trump's agenda because they want to deny Trump the success out of personal animosity defeats the purpose of having a Senate.
This behavior would not be tolerated if the states could appoint their Senators, and refuse to return them in six years if they go rogue.

How are confirmations of Trump's nominations coming along, Susan? Who is in charge of that calendar? m-m-m-m-m-m-m-Mitch.
Shut up, Susan...and don’t bother with the sandwich. I’m sure you’d screw that up, as well.
And all of the time I thought Collins and McConnell were not helpful! who knew!
I don’t know what is much more “unhelpful” than Collins’s idea of what is “unhelpful”.
I’m trying to think of a reason why I would care about her opinion.
Well, maybe, but I can guarantee you that I'm fed up with the GOP not doing ANYTHING for the people who gave you the House in 2010, the Senate in 2012, and the WH in 2016 and you have given us absolutely NOTHING. You quibbling do-nothings need to find a new job and I'm going to do everything I can to see that it happens.
It continues to amaze me how off course the GOPe is.
They haven’t a single clue.
McConnell, Ryan, Collins, McCain...
These four people are blocking the restitution of the nation all by themselves.
Susan Collins is right. Bannon’s comments were not helpful to her, and not helpful to McConnell nor helpful to McCain.
And certainly not helpful to specific incumbent fellow travelers up in 2018 for rehire by the voters.
Collins confirms again that RINOs are unwilling to get the real message. They are as politically tone-deaf and the Democrats.
Trump’s election was a message to Washington that most citizens of this nation are fed up and are demanding change. Not phony lip service. Not business as usual. Not sound bites.
When we say we want Obamacare repealed, that’s what we mean.
When we say we want a border wall and a pro-America immigration policy that includes enforcement, that’s what we mean.
We want action. Not words.
If the RINOs want to keep their jobs, they need to announce they finally get this and are changing their ways, and then DO IT!
Otherwise be prepared to leave office. If you won’t do the job you were elected to do, we will find someone who will.
Hey grumpy old lady....YOU AREN’T HELPFUL!!! except to the Democrats.
Of course it is not helpful to the Cheap Labor Express Republicans.
They have spent 30 years encouraging 30 million people to move here illegally and they do not want us to send them home.
Well, Susan, check out the following Bannon statement:
""Were either going to be the country that was bequeathed to previous generations and to you, or were going to be something else," . . . valley of decision . . . ." - Steve Bannon
He's correct.
Below are the words of the Author of our Declaration of Independence and President of the U. S., Thomas Jefferson, in his 1801 Inaugural Address. Jefferson laid out what might be considered to be an appropriate description of the philosophy and role of an American presidency:
(Excerpt, "Our Ageless Constitution," p. xiv, reformatted)
"Let us, then, with courage and confidence pursue our own Federal and Republican principles, our attachment to union and representative government. Kindly separated by nature and a wide ocean from the exterminating havoc of one quarter of the globe; too high-minded to endure the degradations of the others; possessing a chosen country, with room enough for our descendants to the thousandth and thousandth generation;- entertaining a due sense of our equal right to the use of our own faculties, to the acquisitions of our own industry, to honor and confidence from our fellow-citizens, resulting not from birth, but from our actions and their sense of them;
- enlightened by a benign religion, professed, indeed, and practiced in various forms, yet all of them inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man;
- acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by all its dispensations proves that it delights in the happiness of man here and his greater happiness hereafter
with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people?
- Still one thing more, fellow-citizensa wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.
- This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.
"About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which comprehend everything dear and valuable to you,
- it is proper you should understand what I deem the essential principles of our Government, and consequently those which ought to shape its Administration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating the general principle, but not all its limitations.
- Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political;
- peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none;
- the support of the State governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against antirepublican tendencies;
- the preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad;
- a jealous care of the right of election by the peoplea mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unprovided;
- absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism;
- a well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war, till regulars may relieve them;
- the supremacy of the civil over the military authority;
- economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burthened;
- the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith;
- encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce as its handmaid;
- the diffusion of information and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of the public reason;
- freedom of religion; freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected.
These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety." - Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural
