(609 posts)You kidding? Rubio and Collins are male and female versions of the same thing. Both are "I have concerns but I will vote for him."
Only difference is- Collins is in a blue State. So she has to vote against some items.

Rubio is the most gutless of all.

21 Senators who bad mouthed him behind his back is scratching the surface.
