What are the RATS worried about? Its Maine. If Collins doesnt run for another term, a Democrat is sure to win

Yea, they seem to have short memories as Collins also voted to both get rid of the filibuster and to seat Gorsuch, something no Democrat would dream of.
A)That’s not true, remember Trump nearly carried Maine, a Republican could hold that Senate seat
B)Her seat is not up for election in 2018, if she were elected Governor she would resign just before taking office and get to appoint her successor
Maine has become more conservative in recent years.
Paul LePage, the most conservative governor in the country, was elected in 2010 and re-elected in 2014. I hope he challenges Sen. Angus King in 2018.
Maine splits it’s electoral college votes. Trump won the Second Congressional district by 10 points. This district.....27,000 square miles....is the largest CD east of the Mississippi and covers 80% of the state.
The First Congressional district is much smaller in area....20% of Maine....but it is much more liberal and more heavily populated. Hillary carried Maine’s popular vote by 2.7% because of the First district (assuming it was an honest vote).
If Collins stays, the democrats are sure to keep her seat. Is she leaves, there is a chance however slight for a republican to win.
I just wish she would take the marbles out of her mouth before she attempts to speak in public.
