Not surprising, she won’t be a Senator beginning in January anyways

This is war and she has chosen the enemy. She is an enemy of the Constitution.

We will have won a strategic battle but the war is far far from over

Thank you Susan for Kavanaugh.

She's voting this way to save her seat. ACB doesn't need the vote.

That's the way the game is played.

This was pretty much a done deal when it became clear that Romney and Murkowski were falling in line.

Don’t like Collins but she beats another Dem seat. OTOH, Romney and Murkowski gall me because both states can do better.

What must it feel like to be a person like her?

She bends to the left every chance she gets and the left will never bend to her.

frick her.

I’d rather know my enemy than deal with snakes like her.

This is all part of the plan. Her vote wasnt necessary and im not sure how much it effects her race anyways.

I don't understand the excuse people are giving, that by voting no for ACB, she will keep her seat. Is that really a deciding factor for most people? If I'm a right-leaning voter there, she may not get my vote if she votes against the party.

again... she represents Maine... a state that Biden will win at least 3 EVs from and it's not even in question

if it's not Collins in Maine... it's someone whose values will be closer to AOC's

her votes for Kav & against removal in the impeachment is the reason she's in trouble for reelection in the 1st place

ETA: voting NO here can at least allow her to go into the final week of her campaign telling the crazies in Maine "see... I'm still the moderate you've elected all these times"

We do know her, and she is a slightly better option than a Dem in that seat.

I mean, if you cant count on her, and allow her to give the left ammunition to claim Rep. opposition to the nominee, its better that a DIM hold that seat, so we always know the score up front

having a person like Collins is like throwing your #3 pitcher against another team's well-respected lights out ace pitcher

you expect to lose that game... hoping to set yourself up for a bigger win later in the weekend series

I understand what you are saying, but voting for ACB won't lose her any votes. Those people are already voting against her. She may lose a LOT of conservative votes, though.

a YES vote on ACB all but seals her fate in Maine

a NO vote at least allows her the chance to win over some Maine votes looking to keep the state somewhat moderate

She must switch to the democrat party,once there she will lose all of her power. It was unfair that as a Republican senator from Maine she was able to garner more influence than other Republican senators simply because she was a republican female from Maine.

Her existence is nonsensical.
