Collins votes with the Trump Agenda 78.9% of the time. The other Senator from Maine, King (I-ME), votes with the Trump Agenda 46.1% of the time. A drop of 32.8% means an extra vote lost on one of every 3 bills.

Now, Collins IS the 2nd-lowest Pubbie on the list... but she is still quite a bit higher than the top Dem (Manchin D-WV 60.5%).
FYI... Sasse (R-NE) = 86.7% (8th-lowest among 51 GOP Senators), Fischer (R-NE) = 92.1% (the median Republican, #26 of 51).
“Collins votes with the Trump Agenda 78.9% of the time.”
That’s just a number! She cannot be counted on where “abortion” and several other issues are concerned, so she’s really a zero. She would sink Cavanaugh on abortion alone. Sasse is simply someone who, like McCain hates the President and, like Collins (and Murky) is not a team player. We cannot afford to have RINOs (or Arch Conservatives for that matter either) mucking up the agenda on “their vaunted principles.” They would rather walk away empty-handed (and leave the country with sorely needed change), rather than give up pretty much anything on those things for which they are hot. Rand Paul is sorta like that, but I think at least he sees that sometimes he’s going to have to give on things to which he is philosophically wedded. In that regard, he’s more of a team player than his useless father who was a worthless noisemaker for 24 years.
