http://bangordailynews.com/2017/07/31/politics/lepage-rallies-his-supporters-against-susan-collins/Gov. Paul LePage looks to be leading a Republican civil war against U.S. Sen. Susan Collins 2018 gubernatorial bid before anyones sure shell declare one and as she sits at the center of the national health care debate.

It came after her Friday vote against Republicans latest plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. She was one of three Senate Republicans to cast key votes rejecting it, putting one of the partys major goals in jeopardy.
