Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is still frustrated by how COVID-19 relief bill negotiations went down, The Wall Street Journal reports. Specifically, Collins is not pleased about what she considers to have been a brusque dismissal when she and a group of other Republican senators sat down with President Biden in early February to try to reach consensus on a package.

The senator, who has built a moderate reputation over the years, told the Journal that she's confused as to why the Biden administration, which ultimately saw its $1.9 trillion stimulus pass through Congress without Republican support in either chamber, "would want to alienate the Republican most likely to work with them to find common ground." It's "truly a mystery to me," she said.

Hey Susie baby, they've got absolute power now. They don't need your party betrayals anymore to get their leftist agenda enacted.

You thought you'd be a power broker. Hahahahaha.

How's that view the curb?

Simple, Rep Collins. They need you for their own ends, and when you are no longer needed, buh-bye.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) actually thought the democrats, once in power, would be fair to her .... what an idiot!

[Mr. K]

Is she too stupid to have noticed that democrats only want Bipartisanship when they’re not in charge???

Because it's not about her or any RINO. It's about absolute power the Dems have latched onto.

God help us!

Yes she is.🙄

Maine has Ranked Chouce Voting.

She isn’t going anywhere.

Ranked Choice Voting.

Until Maine repeals it, Collins is there as long as Deep State wants here there.

Yo, Susan, boobala, look up the fable about the scorpion and the frog. Then, get a clue.

[Thumper1960]

How can folks in Maine vote for someone that stupid.

[mewzilla]

Ranked. Choice. Voting.

[fatman6502002]

Susan Collins is, and always has been an insufferable leftist bafoon disguised as a Republican, and her statement about being baffled as to why the dems are ignoring her is absolute proof of how dumb and out of touch she truely is.

[Thumper1960]

I suspect Mainers are just stupid.

[Diogenesis]

Collins and Romney are THE HERPES infection of
the backstabbing, carnivorous, cowardly, treasonous GOP.

[mewzilla]

Maine elected Paul LePage. And re-ected Paul LePage.

Maine now has RCV because Deep State doesn’t like smart voters.

[who knows what evil?]

I suspect Mainers are just stupid.

Southern Mainers certainly are...

Specifically, Collins is not pleased about what she considers to have been a brusque dismissal when she and a group of other Republican senators sat down with President Biden in early February to try to reach consensus on a package.

Their package was a third the size of the Democrat package and included virtually none of what Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi wanted. The Democrat package was extremely popular with the voters and they had the votes to pass it. And Collins is puzzled why Biden didn't negotiate with them? Really? Is she that dense?
