Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) in comments given today to CBS News said it was very likely she would vote for witnesses at the impeachment trial.
Collins said, [B]ut for the efforts that four of us made to ensure that vote would occur, that its unlikely that we would have had that opportunity. I am pleased that every senator will have the opportunity to vote on whether or not additional witnesses and documents are necessary. It is very likely that Im going to conclude that yes, we do need to hear from witnesses.
She added, I, for one, believe that theres some gaps, some ambiguities that need to be cleared up.

If he cant herd his cats on a matter this important then, yes, he should resign as leader. Not sarcasm. Dude.
Which GOP senator is going to herd all the cats in this Senate, dude? Roy Moore lost in 2017, so let's leave him out of the list of contenders. :-P
This was the dems strategy. Get four RINOs to vote for witnesses and win the Senate in November. McConnell is an idiot.
Well, dude, any one of the GOP Senators could be this ineffective, so it doesnt really matter.
She’s toast, buh bye
Who would have guessed it bitch
Its very likely Susan is an idiot.
The issue is whether she will vote for Dem witnesses even if the GOP doesnt get witnesses.
Don't worry..., they will...! She will be replaced by a DIM left-wing nutcase in November! Not that that will improve things!
If its a 50/50 tie, does Pence come in to cast the deciding vote.
Really Maine? You cant find or just dont want a true conservative?
Yall have lobsters for brains. Or is it the fentnol?
Susan and Mittens need the boot right where the good Lord split them.
Very likely?
How about 1,000,000% likely, as if we didn’t know.
The ignorance of this broad... she still hasn’t figure it out there are no high crimes or misdemeanors.
Sure they can impeach because they say Trump looked cross-eyed at a fly, because it’s inflymane. (like inhumane only a tad more special, because it’s a part of nature, and not some unborn baby)
That doesn’t mean we have to convict him for it.
Susan, for heaven’s sake!
“If she votes for witnesses she will probably lose her election.”
Obviously Susan Collins calculates the odds differently than you & I. She’s deliberately playing the Rhino because she thinks that’s what her key constituents in Maine want. If she could be painted as a conservative hardliner she thinks that she loses.
This was always going to be 51-49 on the question of witnesses. The only question was which 3 Rhinos would be “let out” of the vote. Collings & Romney were certainly looking for an excuse to defect. The NY Times leak gave them the excuse they needed.
Susan, it’s more than very likely I’ll be sending a check to your opponent.
I’d like witnesses. The more the better.
Just my opinion but I do not think that Susan Collins elevator goes to the top floor. She has no intellectual capability. Mitt on the other hand is there to just stir up trouble.
No... Mitt and Lisa will screw Trump every chance they get. Collins was the only one who might say no because of her re-election. I’m sure there is at least one more Repuke (They always have just enough to give the Dems control...funny that)
We knew the fix was in when the republicans didnt even demand that Warren, Sanders, Harris and that other naasty old leftist broad recuse themselves from the trial proceedings
