Maine Republican wrote in Paul Ryan for president in 2016

President Donald Trump is already stumping for re-election in 2020. But at least one member of his party says it’s uncertain if he’ll become the GOP’s standard-bearer.

Maine Sen. Susan Collins, known as a Trump critic, was interviewed on MSNBC Monday morning and asked if she believed the president would end up as the Republican nominee in 2020. Her reply:

Collins also told MSNBC she didn’t support Trump in 2016, instead writing in House Speaker Paul Ryan’s name.

“That was very hard for me to do as a lifelong Republican,” Collins said....

She has no say in it. We do.

If events get any worse from a support perspective from the GOP, President Trump should announce his departure from the Republican Party and run as an independent before the primaries start because you just know the GOPe will have a few to put up against our President.

Collins and other Rinos who hate Trump, will soon be receiving non friendly remarks from Bannon. Bannon can do far more damage to the Democrats/Rinos/Never Trumpsters from outside the WH...

The mediots, rioting liberals and liberal mayors, who allowed the rioting are in for some fun times from Bannon.

There will be zero mercy on the mediots and Never Trumpsters in Congress and Rino's like this B$tch in Bannon’s new op center.

Bannon has now entered a Free Fire Zone and will take Zero Prisoners!

Hey Mainers! Would you mind voting her out of office next time around?

It’s too difficult for a Democrat in an R jersey to say.

There are lots of them in the Senate.

Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Gardner, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Toomey, Capito, Rounds, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse, Ernst, Young and Shelby are all Democrats in R jerseys.

Can we wait till after the 2018 elections to start talking about the 2020 elections? I’m a little burned out from the 2016 election ... still.

I think Steven King is your typical Mainer, so probably not.

Since Google, YouTube, the SPLC, etc. are labeling conservatives and our speech as “Hate Speech”, and using their stigmatization to harm us (denial of service, de-monetizing Youtube accounts, etc), I think Bannon should come up with a Patriot Version of these people who are the true haters.

Long ago, Diamond & Silk started their Wall of Shame. I think this is an excellent way to turn the spotlight right back on these truly seditious hate groups.

From the last election map Maine was pretty red, so maybe not.

Trump managed to do something no other Presidential candidate had ever done. Split Maine’s electoral votes.

Suggest Sen. Collins come out of the political closet and announce she’s a democrat. And butt ugly.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out why she is still breathing. She looks and sounds like she is older than dirt. Ride off into the sunset and take your fellow traitors with you! All 100% of them who voted to block our President’s recess appointments!

Hopefully Paul LePage will appoint himself to fill her remaining term and she has big coattails to keep Maine Senate R and turn Maine House R.

Maybe for her. I have no difficulty saying the nomination is his if he wants it. And he gives every appearance of wanting it.
