-—If Collins were to vote to confirm Kavanaugh, her reputation as an independent voice would likely suffer a blow as that decision would be met with a barrage of criticism from Democrats and advocates of the Me Too movement.——
Oh, so let me get this straight: You can only be an “independent voice” if you always go against your own Party? I thought the whole point of “independence” is that you may vote with or against based on the issue at hand, not some knee-jerk need to side with the Dims.
But we all know how the media frames things, don’t we?
No, you can only be an independent voice if you’re anti-republican and especially anti-conservative. If you are anti-democrat, then you’re not an independent voice but instead a hater, a racist, a homophobe, etc., etc.
