Drama queen as usual..
Perfect … Pierre Delecto stands alone.
Want to bet that Pierre Delecto votes with the Communists?
Good! Much as I dislike Collins, I have to give her credit for her stand on Justice Kavanaugh.
She reminds me a bit of a quote attributed to Winston Churchill to the effect that Americans can always be depended upon to do the right thing once all other options have been exhausted.
Good for her! AM so glad to know she will vote to acquit our President.
I realize most here detest her but the left will be doing all they can to remove her from her office in November.
Her vote matters.
At least she’s with the gop side
Great. Those of you who badmouthed her apologize. Yes, she can be annoying. But I believe she tries to do the right thing. At least she thinks before she votes.
Not a surprise. Will be 53-47 tomorrow. Democrats have done the impossible: they have united the Republican Party behind President Trump.
Too little too late.
She should also apologize to the president for considering the Impeavhment articles as genuine. ( They are de facto and de jure bogus)
Remember, this is a political process. As a politician Collins owes the President an apology as well as a dual acquittal.
If the Rats had an ounce of integrity and scruples, they would all vote to acquit and send a message to the idiots in the House that this will not be tolerated. But then, if they any integrity or scruples, every Rat senator who was or is running for the presidency would have recused themselves.
A greater acquittal of President Trump has already happened—acquittal by the American people!
Thank you Senator Collins.
Yeah, that’s nice, Suze. You’re voting for the Constitution, congrats.
Here’s my bold prediction:
It will be 56-44 for acquittal with NO Republicans voting to remove and 3 Democrats crossing the party line to vote acquittal as well.
The 3 Democrats will all be from red states: Doug Jones of Alabama, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona.
I’m not surprised she’s voting conservative. She may be one of the few smart ones that are not publicly tipping their hand about being in the deep state. And I’m sure she can imagine the bloodbath that’s going to happen at the ballot box when Trump is acquitted and the fools are culled in the media and their own jurisdictions. The only thing better for this would have been if the trial would have gone on and the liberals would have been slow roasted right up to the general election. The GOP may have missed their opportunity to put the libs back at least 10 years, ruin the integrity and reputation of the current leaders in power in the house, and take over both houses and the POTUS this year forcing them to totally rebuild the liberal party to have some type of rapport with anyone from their smallest base to foreign concerns. Shucks, the chance was there and they got scared and ran for it.
But if they don’t get the trial, they win. They can save face not with legal actions, but with lying about how the GOP closed them out in the senate not giving a fair trial and the public will have to listen to that clear through next year. And they accomplished heir goal of dirtying the water for the election. It’s all this was ever about.

Good for her. I got a fundraising email from her a bit over a week ago. Said I’d donate when she votes to acquit. So be it.
It says "...high crimes AND misdemeanors." (not "or misdemeanors").
The wording is very important. Many people today consider a misdemeanor to be an inconsequential offense. Since the word "and" is in there, misdemeanors cannot be substitutes for "high crimes".
That pretty much leaves Mitt Romney as the lone NEVER-TRUMPER.
PS - you just had to throw the “yes, I hate him personally too, just like you, unfortunately hate is not impeachable. . . “
(yet)
If you haven’t watched her speech on the floor you should.
