Am I the only one who noticed that her statement is logically incoherent?

On the one hand she says President Trump has the authority to nominate someone to fill the USSC vacancy, and she’s fine with the Judiciary Committee beginning the process of reviewing the nominee’s credentials ...

... but then she says the nominee should be selected by the President who is elected on November 3rd?

I’m glad we got the Kavanaugh confirmation vote out of her, because I expect it will be the last time she casts a consequential vote in the Senate before getting her ass thrown out of office for good.

She should then just say if Trump wins and she wins in November, then she would be a ‘yes’. That would motivate people to vote for her.

You are so absolutely 1000% correct! Wish you were her campaign manager.

“With her Parkinsons symptoms on display, this selfish hag should have groomed a replacement for the good of the party and the country”

She’s accustomed to the ability to feed from the public trough to enrich her and her friends.

Watching a politician who’s been voted out of office is like watching a meth addict going through withdrawals

Collins is making a major mistake. She is underestimating Trump support in Maine. If she’s not then she’ll lose anyway. I think voting for the nominee is harmless to her.

Maybe she really does want out, it’s the only possible explanation for her doing this.

Fairness would be going by the rules and holding a vote. More perversion from the swamp creature.

I know; it has been going on for years. I probably will vote for Collins only because the alternative is a hard core leftist.

I feel the same way about Lindsey Graham here in South Carolina. He’s in for a tough fight, and deservedly so based on his actions in Washington. He has not earned my vote, and frankly at this particular moment in time, I plan to write in my vote.

It’s why I send her no money

I sent her a few bucks after Kavanaugh, now she's begging, no way Susan!

Maine’s Arlen Specter. She — like he — has won so many close elections in a Democrat-majority state that her default position is to oppose her own party when the stakes are highest.

We need to keep the Senate even if it is held together with duct tape and RINOS

Amy Coney Barrett, while personally opposed to abortion, said publicly that SCOTUS is not going to overturn Roe v Wade. If she is nominated, dems will claim that abortion will soon be illegal.

Well, Susan, you're not an American as far as I'm concerned.

Mitch, Throw her out!
