Susan Collins doesn't understand why Maine voters don't love her anymore.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/03/susan-collins-is-baffled-why-maines-voters-have-turned-on-her-report/

With Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) facing the very likely fact that she may lose her Senate seat in the 2020 election, the Los Angeles Times reports that the embattled senator can’t seem to wrap her head around the fact that voters in her state don’t see her as an independent voice representing their interests.

Reporting from a dog sled race held in northern Maine, the Times notes that everyone seems to have an opinion on the senator — and many are opposed to her re-election.

“Collins’ hard-won reputation as an independent-minded Republican moderate devoted to Maine — an image that enabled her to continue on as New England’s last surviving GOP senator — is being put to the test this year in the most difficult reelection race of her career,” the report states. “And with control of the Senate at stake, it’s become one of the highest-profile Senate races in the country, already prompting millions of dollars in spending by outside political groups.”


Susan seems to be CONCERNED about her reelection chances. Sad!

Maybe she can write her own "self-help" memoir or hire someone to do so that actually has a "clue."

Votes to confirm Brett Kavenaugh and Neil Gorsuch.

Votes to acquit Trump despite the solid case against him.

Other votes against Obama initiatives, etc.
