I didn’t think she was a Republican. When did that happen?

All the progress President Trump has made to improve the USofA makes no impression on the witless.

She’s simply posturing!
Probably wants something from Trump.

She’s probably still getting death threats over her Kavanagh performance.

Collins is a ‘fair weather’ Republican, she follow the wind blowing..

Collins is NO kind of Republican. She is a scheming backstabbing libtard. Why she doesn't have the decency to call herself what she actually is, a dummocrap, clearly shows the garbage she's made from.

Surely Alaska has someone better than Murkowski.


Yes but does Maine have someone better than Collins who can get elected?

The following GOP Senators will not endorse Trump:

Collins, Murkowski ( the usual suspects ), Romney, Gardner.

I have always said this — Despite the election results, and the Republicans in the majority, we VIRTUALLY have a Democrat Senate.

She’s running for reelection in 2020 in a Blue state and the Democrats are out for her hide over the Kavanaugh vote. She can hem and haw all she wants over supporting Trump but it isn’t going to save her.


Unless you are from Maine and have a better idea, I’d be grateful for her vote and let her negotiate the political waters of her state.

Yep, Murky is no different.

The little I’ve read of her she’s from a political family that’s entrenched in Alaska, he people should un-entrench her.

Who cares? Most people don’t even know who she is, or what state she represents.

The waters have gotten a bit more treacherous for her in the last year.

@SenatorCollins : “I’m really focused on my own [re-election] campaign for 2020, and I really haven’t focused on the presidential campaign. So, I’m not prepared at this point to make that decision.”


In other words, if endorsing him helps my own election chances, then I will endorse him. If it hurts my own election chances, then I will not.

This is actually pretty smart. She’s a (generally) reliable vote in the Senate. I would hate to see this seat go to the Democrats if Trump is polling bad in her state, and she loses. A lot of Democrats ran to the right in order to win their own state (ie—Joe Manchin), but quickly fell in line with their party afterwards. Susan would likly do the same thing.

Trump should return the favor and support a primary opponent against her.

Absolute waste of air. Maine— a state of POOR a@@ people and almost NO middle class... ruled by elitist biotches like this one.

“See how he’s done”? You can’t even articulate WHAT you believe in, and twist your arm for SCOTUS Kavanaugh approval.

Considering that your “other” Sen. in Maine is “independent” Angus King!! another octomaroon— says a lot about commitment to ANY ideology.

She’s a RINO-RAT. Not to be trusted.

Just a while ago some of my Republican friends were lauding this fraud because she voted for Kavanaugh. Like that was a difficult vote!
