She sure knows how to milk a lot of attention and concessions out of the GOP by posing as a "sane moderate Republican" every time they need her vote to do something terrible to the country.

(32,045 posts)"a Collins "no" vote on Trump's nominee is not something Democrats should bet on. She's never voted against a Supreme Court nominee of either party. Further, Collins is a Republican, and the person nominating Kavanaugh is a Republican. That's normally a recipe for a vote for confirmation to the Supreme Court."

(40,218 posts)She likes being treated as special. In the end, she always caves. The republicans can always count on her vote, thats for sure.

say Roe v Wade was settled law and Brett agreed. Everyone knows it was settled law - that what the Supreme Court does. They also unsettle laws!

(2,186 posts)Why is she still in office? Maine has about a 9-pt advantage in party affiliation (our favor)? A lot of unregistered voters, though, I think. She has GOT to be a major target when her time is up.
