the ones who really have to go are the TransRepublicans from allegedly conservative states like Grahamnesty, Cornyn, Hoeven, Rubio, etc.

Fair enough but make no mistake, the pressure Trump is putting on her is forcing her to the right. Without that influence, she’s a democrat.

No fan ! I guess its a tight rope act being a Republican and staying in office in Maine.- BINGO!

“Maine loved Paul Lepage I think his name was, a no nonsense conservative fella that didn’t give a crap what anyone thought of him, but overcoming the city votes was too much I guess.” I won’t understand or accept why he didn’t run for the Senate. Didn’t want to lose I guess but he won statewide.

Yeah I wish he had run. I think he at the very least would have given them a good run for their money. Not liking what I am seeing going on in Maine these days politically. Wish they’d embrace their roots more.

Maine conservatives held their noses and voted for Collins because her RAT opponent, former Maine House Speaker Sarah Gideon, is a 48 year old version of AOC.

Another reason: Maine voters wanted President Trump to have a Republican controlled Senate in his (now stolen) second term. It was a numbers game in regards to controlling the Senate.

Last year, former Maine governor Paul LePage said he was running for governor again in 2022.

He won in 2010 and 2014 but was term-limited in 2018.

After sitting out a term, he’s eligible to run again next year and I hope he does.

Haven’t heard him speak in public since last year.

Yes, she really won.

The RATS wanted fellow RAT Sarah Gideon, a moonbat to win.

The political ads were nonstop on radio and television. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Collins received 67% of the vote in 2014 and in the low 50 percentile in 2020.

To avoid rank choice voting, a candidate needs 50% of the vote plus at least one single vote more.

....received another blow on Tuesday.

News indexes are going to think we're looking up Bill Clinton White House stories. Maybe limit the searches by the year.

Shes getting a big check for this from someone.

She doesn’t do the right thing because it’s just right, not ever.

I believe this history makes him an unusually divisive pick for this important position.

In case she hasn't noticed, every single Biden pick has been the worst of the worst in all cases for every position.
