In any case. Collins pretends to be a moderate and will vote with dems when McConnell gives her permission. The voters of Maine keep falling for it.

Sometimes on key votes where she made a difference.

She is not pretending. Ask a freeper what they think of her.

She (along with Murkowski) are members of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. If either had voted not to move her out of committee, we'd not be talking about DeVos or wondering when our tax dollars will be diverted to born-again religious institutions.
