for a nominee picked by Trump if he loses in November. She is giving advise which will be ignored, and then she will vote against Trump's nominee if her vote isn't needed, and vote for Trump's nominee if her vote is needed. If Collins is reelected she would not need to face the voters again for another six years.

why continue to kiss tRumps ass? Same holds true for other
defeated R Senators. Might they be more likely to blame their loss
on tRump and vote against his wishes? Go out with a bit of dignity?
