It must be very wearing, since she never manages to do anything to alleviate that concern.

Collins and her ilk will make vague statements and be forgotten within 2-20 years.

Best that her history is shortened since her grandchildren won't need to live with the shame.

She just loves the attention.

I can’t wait for her to be voted out of office. She is a disgrace.

fainting couches and smelling salts were only a southern "belle" thing. WOW. And I thought that the citizens of Maine were known as being "tough". Oh well, everyone must be very concerned because Ms. Collins is heading to the fainting couch.

Just go away already!

37. is there a database of Collins' concern?
Mon Dec 17, 2018, 05:42 AM
Dec 2018

Let's see,
concern about the hush payments (OP),
concern about Whittaker,
concern about Sessions,
concern about the investigation,
concern over allegations against Kavanaugh,
concern about the Individual Mandate,
concern about Pruitt as EPA head,
concern about health care,
concern about Cohen lying to Congress,
concern over Trump being GOP nominee,
concern about the Nunes memo being released

There needs to be a Collins concern database. Since she follows up her concerns by voting GOPer line, it's safe to say Susan Collins is a concern troll. Her only real concern is seeking attention by feigning concern.
