Politicians in absolutist regimes can lead - that’s what total control over the organs of state security (i.e. the power of life-and-death) lets them do, at least in the short run. Those in one-man one-vote systems follow the popular will, because those who don’t quickly become ex-politicians.
As a multi-decade GOP incumbent in a blue state, Collins is presumably attuned to what a majority of Maine voters will accept. Her vote for Kavanaugh put her seat at risk. A vote for ACB would seal her fate. I blame Murkowski. The last time she was up for re-election, she ran against 3 other Republicans in the general. There was no pressure for her to vote against Kavanaugh. And yet she did, forcing Collins to become the 50th vote. Palin needs to run against Murkowski in 2022 and eliminate this scourge from the AK GOP.
