Would someone please explain to me the logic of Susan Collins.

How does it help her in any way to fail to support Trump on this issue? She either looks weak to her own party, to the opposing party and uninspiring to independents. I just do not understand it.

I don't believe any one of them will vote NO. Maybe abstain, but it will be political suicide to vote No.

Murkowski and Collins would be a no? or Abstain?


they would have to abstain, if they vote no then it fails no matter what Gardner & the traitor Romney do

Wrong. The Senate simply needs a a majority vote. An abstain or down vote results in the same thing.

Collins wants to be loved by all. It's identical to liberals, particularly gays, trying to get cozy with Muslims. By definition, they hate you, so why bother?

It will be political suicide if, other than Collins, either one doesn't vote up.

Collins only chance is to go full on MAGA.

I mean all out full throated speeches at Trump rallies for Trump.

It's really her only chance but she could never bring herself to do it.

She will lose because of it.

Collins is trying to save face in Maine. She’s down huge in the polls

And she'll have no chance whatsoever if she votes no and Trump tells Maine conservatives to abandon her.

I thought the same. I don’t believe someone is going to vote for her because she votes “No”.

If Mitch has the 50 votes he needs he will tell Collins she can vote No and have Trump still support her from losing her GOP support because at that point the nominee is in.
