On every important vote (Kavanaugh, shutdowns, impeachment witnesses are just a few examples) she casts herself as "undecided," "troubled," "concerned" or some combination of those. She gets a ton of TV coverage, virtual ink, and attention. Then she does what she's told to do by Mitch McConnell after receiving various "assurances" and making them public. Afterwards when exactly what everyone on the other side of the issue predicted would happen does happen she expresses her "shock" and claims "nobody could have predicted this!"
Every. Damn. Time.

(2,388 posts)These "moderate" members are thrown in front of the cameras so the people and the press think twice about calling the republican party what it is, a corrupt and radical party with no purpose other than staying in power. They're meant to soothe the jittery, give them hope that maybe republicans aren't dragging us into an authoritarian hell hole.
It's the same crap we were fed about ivanka before the election. We were told she's moderate, maybe even liberal, and will be a good and restraining influence on trump. And of course she's as corrupt as he is and always was.

(15,635 posts)frankly. She'll get some huge concession from McConnell that will benefit Maine and then vote no, or yes only if the list of witnesses includes Hunter Biden and someone from the Ukrainian government.
