It’s past for people like to just lose and go away.

I’ll trade the Michigan Senate race going to the Republican for a flip and you can send Collins packing.

Collins is stupid. She’s going to piss off her Republican base and it will do nothing to appease Dem voters who will vote for the actual Dem candidate.

Yes, I expect Collins will lose her race. To be perfectly honest, I expect the GOP will lose the Senate.

Wow. Good thing the Japanese didn’t attack in September or OCtober of 1940 instead of a year later or we might not have declared wart until after the election.

"Collins is stupid. She’s going to piss off her Republican base and it will do nothing to appease Dem voters..."

For someone as smart as Collins, she's about as dumb as Mazzie Hirono.

“RINO” does not begin to describe the wholly prejudiced and even bigoted egotism of these two harpies. Jut because it is generally assumed they posses a common gender with the prospective nominee in question, that there should be some kind of sisterhood to hold together, does not even enter into the calculations of these two viragos.

This is a balk of the worst order. Both would do much better to vote “Present”, but I suppose they do not wish to exercise that option, as this is their “stick it to Trump” moment.

Goodbye Susan Collins and good riddence! She is an awful Senator. She also vascilates to the democratic side too many times without a valid reason, for instance What is her excuse for voting against Amy Barrett? Playing politics is her gamble for Maine voters. It’ll fail this time and she will be voted out!

> “It’s not a comment on her,” Collins said. “It is a comment on the process of rushing through a nomination in such a short time before a presidential election.” <

What a disgusting person Collins is. You are supposed to vote based on the candidate’s qualifications only. Nothing else is supposed to matter.

Side comment:
Sorry for being so pessimistic. But the radical Democrats will eventually take control of this country. And then they will enact laws to keep them in power permanently. Simple-minded fools like Collins are just helping that process along.

Old democrat trick Manchin always does
She is allowed to vote no because Mac already knows he has the votes to confirm

Collins and Murkowski only voting no because they've been assured their votes won't change the outcome.

This is common Congressional behavior. The party members who are in districts with large percentages of opposition party voters are allowed to vote against their party when it doesn't affect the outcome.

Nothing to get excited about.

who cares unless it means no confirmation.....and it might mean her reelection in Maine with like-minded indies.....we’ll see

As for Murkowski....who knows....Feinstein surely is threatening her again.

SHALL nominate. Not may, might, could, possibly if it’s not within 90 days of a presidential election. These people.....

To be fair, I don't think her objection is to the President nominating Barrett. It is to the Senate confirming her.

The Benedict Arnold RINO caucus.

I’ve said since he came down the escalator Democrats make a lot of noise but are of little threat to President Trump or any GOP president. The biggest threat are RINO Quisling Republicans (not new).

With this latest brain-dead pronouncement, Sen. Collins probably just lost her seat.
