Ms. Collins is just plain dumb...................
In another life, Collins was married to Benedict Arnold.
She's voted for President Trump's judicial picks which is more than her challenger will do if she loses.
Despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth on this thread, her profile in cowardice was a smart move. She's in a tight race the GOP cannot afford to lose.
Voted for Kavanaugh.
That's only because she never had access to a P.T. Boat during combat in any danged WAR!!!
And of coarse she was never a Kennedy or a Kerry, ya know...
Profiles in Courage our side has NONE!! Our entire senate on our side are a bunch of good old boy PUSSYS!!! Except Rand Paul!!
“I honestly don’t know of anything useful she’s ever done in office.”
Her very strong public support of the Kavanaugh nomination came at a very critical time. Politically, supporting Kavanaugh was unpopular in Maine and her vote for Kavanaugh galvanized groups to work for her defeat this year. If she had voted no, Joe Manchin would have had cover to vote no and Murkowski would like have switched to a no instead of present”. At that point Romney, or another GOP Senator would have joined the no votes sinking the nomination.
Who cares? I doubt Trump does. Her seat may be needed to retain control of the Senate.
If she was, she wouldn’t have voted for Kavanaugh.
If she wins we get another 100 conservative judges and maybe another Supreme Court justice.
She has been there for the tough votes, which her opponents will no doubt point out.
Corrupt. Compromised. The only question is how?
I’ll repeat something I posted many times in 2016 when Freepers complained about Republican House and Senate candidates whose support of Trump was weak at best: The first thing these candidates must do is WIN — however they get it done.
Susan Collins has won FOUR statewide elections in Maine — which is four more than Trump has won.
To be fair, Trump has only run ONE political race - a national race at that - and he won.
But he didn’t win Maine — and that’s the state we’re talking about here. It’s not like Susan Collins represents Oklahoma or South Dakota.
Perhaps if Collins could express more pro-America views, it would be easier to endorse our pro-America President.
If Collins could support Kavanaugh, she could endorse Trump.
Treasonous RINOs are everywhere...
I dont see how her decision encourages Republicans to vote for her.
How Maine Voted...
Trump - 2016 - 44.9%
Romney - 2012 - 41.0%
McCain - 2008 - 40.4%
Susan Collins almost hit 70% in her 2014 reelection.
Hard to understand how she can be in serious danger in 2020.
Of course, when she first ran in 1996, she promised to serve “only two terms.”
The idiocy I read on this website is remarkable. If Republican political candidates only hired FReepers to manage their campaigns they’d be lucky to hold 10 Senate and 25 House seats.
