I think you’re right. I don’t understand why people are being so tough on her. The point is to get to 50+Pence, with the lowest possible cost... if Sen. Collins thinks it’s to her advantage to vote no, and if Cocaine Mitch can spare her vote, then it’s foolish to do otherwise.
Hope she loses...tired of all these useless RINOS...Trump needs new senate leadership..the Turtle is as corrupt as Biden..
Well don’t take what I’m saying as a “defense” of Collins - I’m just analyzing the situation and the reality of who she is but also what she has to deal with. She’s a left of center Republican representing a state that is largely left of center. I do respect the fact she’s never lied about her political leanings, though - she doesn’t claim to be a conservative. She’s always put herself forward as “independent” and “moderate” rather than a conservative or Republican party loyalist. You know what you are getting with her, unlike others who claim to be “severe conservatives”, etc. and then sell out.
