Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, refused to say whether she’ll vote for President Trump in November and signaled that she would not campaign against presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
The self-proclaimed moderate Republican from Maine told the New York Times this week she does not campaign against former colleagues. Biden and Collins worked together in the Senate.
“I do not campaign against my colleagues in the Senate,” she said of Biden, adding that she knows him “very well” from their days in Congress together.
“My inclination is just to stay out of the presidential and focus on my own race,” she added.
Collins publicly announced that she would not be voting for Trump ahead of the 2016 election.
Collins, who has represented Maine in the Senate since 1997, may face one of the toughest reelection campaigns of her career as Democrats from outside the state pour in money for her likely Democratic opponent, Maine House Speaker Sara Gideon, in an effort to take control of the Senate.
The race has been rated a toss-up by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

Don’t you just love the GOP’!!!!!!!!
And she wonders why she is the l Wst polling republican. Tell me again how we’re going to win the house and keep the senate with idiots like this?
Focus on you’re own race? Is someone primarying you?
She wants to win her election in Maine this year. I hope she does win. We need 51 senators to get the majority and the Majority Leader......hope they don’t re-elect McConnell as majority leader though.
An Army of One.
She voted for Kavanaugh. If she loses she’ll go down as one of us. Only Trump’s coattails can save her.
May I say F her? She better get5 in line behind da Booshes, Mr. Kellyanne “George” Conway, John Kasick, Bill wanna-be-Irving Kristal, Never-Trumpers, etc.

She’ll try her best to screw something up
She’s pathetic.
piece of Sh!t in Congress
Maine. It’s blue you spaz.
Old saying was “Gosh, we have to get more women to run for office in our party. The women’s vote is so important.”
It’s like the old saying about teachers.
Those who can, do.
Those who can’t, end up in Congress.
Fact is,people keep saying the pubbies don’t know how to fight for us.... Yes,they do...They just agree with the dems more often than not...Sooo why fight what you agree with????
Trump will carry Maine and New Hampshire.
Collins is of no use to Trump.
May I say F her?

You can say that, but I hope you never have to follow up on it. Shudder.

A long time ago the first pundit said “Well the first skirmish with the new President Trump shows there is no price to pay for undercutting him.”
Big mistake.
Whether organized crime or the Pelosi Dem party (I repeat myself) the other side has threats and punishments if anyone steps out of line to “wonder” about their vote on a Pelosi bill.
Remember that one woman Representative who suddenly, the next morning said she changed her mind and is all in for Pelosi’s bill?
Romney, Murkowski, S. Collins-—sometimes Lindsey Graham.....take cheap shots at Trump, vote for or against crucial SCOTUS or budget turning points based on whims. Bad situation. Other way, though is all three would be strong Dems to replace them all. Also bad.
