Collins' problem is the classic one of triangulation.

After many terms of playing both ends against the middle, she's polarized everyone against her. These situational alliances never last, but the groups who are angered remember it forever.

Eventually, there is nobody left to speak out for her.

?

I was counting Murkowski as already gone. That was already old news. Collins makes two. If we lose one more, Pence breaks the tie. If we lose two more it's game over unless a dem flips.

My guess? Either she’s trying to have it both ways or she wants something. Or both.


Probably trying to cut a deal with McConnell: push the floor vote to the lame duck.

Or Trump could offer some pork for Utah. Mitt could get pressure from his voters to confirm, if he hasn’t felt it already. But one problem with that approach is that other RINOs might want the same.

I probably will vote for Collins only because the alternative is a hard core leftist


I won’t. Just sent her an email and posted a response on both her Facebook and Twitter accounts.

I asked her, what would her opponent Sara Gideon have done differently if she and not Collins held the Maine Senate seat today? Answer: Nothing

So, if the results are the same then what is the difference between a Senator Collins and a Senator Gideon other than one has a “D” on the seat and the other has a fake “R” on the seat.

If, Senator Collins, you do not publically do a 180 on your statement before the end of the weekend, I will be removing your signs from my properties and I will leave the US Senate ballot blank on election day.

“Better to support a real republican candidate for Senate in another state that can replace the loss of your seat in November.”

I hope that she loses in November.

She is worse than useless.

She is pro-abortion.

Her loss will be celebrated by pro-lifers second only to Biden’s.

It will send a message to all Republicans.

Right, exactly, McConnell needs to get Trump’s nominee through by any means necessary.

Senate Majority Leader Schumer thanks you.


Exactly!!! I’m constantly ticked at Lindsey, but a write in will only assure Jamie Harrison gets in and add a seat to the Dem column.

I concur, her statement was an opinion, she did not say she would not vote if there was no other choice.
