Well Maine is what it is and Collins is about the best you’ll get out of there until another steps up...and most likely simailiar to Collins unless the population moves further right..
I live in Maine’s 2nd Congressional district.
In area, it’s the largest congressional district east of the Mississippi....27,000 square miles.
It is STRONG Second Amendment country. We have Conceal Carry, Constitutional Carry, etc. Even switch blades were made legal in 2015.
Michael Bloomturd bankrolled a ballot initiative in 2016 which would have ended the private sale of firearms in Maine. Despite all his money, Bloomturd lost.
Collins received 67% of the vote in 2014. Now, the democrats are out for blood because of Collin’s vote for Brett Kavanaugh.
There are ENDLESS commercials on radio and TV, many of them negative. Collins’ people are fighting back against the dem challenger, Maine House Speaker Sarah Gideon. Gideon is a far leftist with a voice like AOC. Susan Collins looks like Sarah Palin in comparison, which of course she is not.
About $55 million is being spent on the Maine Senate race, much of it from out of state.
Collins voted for the overwhelming majority of the president’s judicial picks. Collins also voted for the president’s tax cuts. A dem would have been a no vote on all of the above.
President Trump will win the 2nd district this year, for one electoral vote. He may even carry the whole state this time...who knows. Maine was a blue state but has been trending purple in recent years.
The First congressional district....20% of Maine in the southeast corner of the state.....is more liberal....north Massachusetts, as some people here call it....skews the vote total in statewide elections.
