“Collins speech was a brilliant team play by the GOP and Mitch McConnell. She was chosen to give the speech and as a team player she did. It cold cocked the left and by dragging out her answer for 45 minutes it made everyone listen.”
Totally agree.
The staging, timing and total orchestration was brilliant! Usually the dems are the ones pulling off successful events like that.
And her speech, given the context i.e. screeching woman roaming the capitol in high pitched hysteria, gave a wonderful alternative sight for the millions of women who tuned in:
That’s what an intelligent, independent woman looks like. And it’s what a Senator of any gender, looks like. A great example to our daughters.
It was very epic. She not only saved the nominee, she saved the reputation of the Senate.
It’s telling that SNL made Collins a target of their ridicule last night. On any given day, I would have to rate Levin as much more intelligent than any personality associated with SNL, but in this case, SNL was far more perceptive about the impact of Collins’ speech.
