After listing his failures as Senate President in the Maine legislature, nearly a hundred bills vetoed by their past governors, and his failure to get any support for his bills in committee and his failure to get elected as governor in the last election, she asked:

“If you cannot find EVEN ONE DEMOCRAT OF YOUR OWN PARTY TO SUPPORT YOUR BILLS HOW WILL YOU FUNCTION IN A CLOSELY DIVIDED SENATE IN WASHINGTON?”

Wow. That’s pretty powerful stuff. Calling the guy a loser without calling him a loser.

I find it hard to believe she is the best they can offer!!

I watched their debate late-night last night. She can barely speak and like Biden and Turtle, she's the epitome of enacting term limits.

Is she the one who's head shakes when she talks? I wonder is that essential tremors or early Parkinson's?

She has the same thing RFK has.

Graduated college with an arts degree in 1975, and went work for a DC politician that same year.

Never held a real job her entire life. If I were a Maine voter, I’d pull the lever for a Democrat for the first time since voting to re-elect John Kennedy as Louisiana’s State Treasurer.

You have to get her out of Washington DC, even if it means giving up a Senate seat.

Does she even know what her staff is telling her to vote for?

Just showing up means nothing if she doesn't understand what is going on.

Correct. Her issues are not related to old age. We could do 10x worse than Collin’s in Maine.

A friend of mine has that. It's something, something dysphonia if I remember correctly.

Well, that one bit of dialogue ended her opponent's campaign.

I dont love her but she's probably as good as Republicans can hope for from Maine. Better to get her vote 90% of the time than some commies vote 0% of the time.

That’s right. It’s a neuro muscular problem.

Has nothing to do with age. Look she is the best we can do up there. Again, I’d rather have someone with me 85 percent of the time than someone that is 100 percent against me.

It would be great to have someone who is MAGA but it ain’t happening. She’s a pain in the arse but she usually comes through when it counts…..as opposed to a Democrat who won’t give you shite.

What is needed is a bigger House and Senate majority so that these borderline RINOs are irrelevant.

Her vote is not nearly as important as her caucus participation. Her election could decide if the entire Senate agenda is run by democrats or republicans. That is far more important than how she votes on bills.

I would rather see Maine have to beg for a conservative leader after allowing the libs to destroy it. The reason she shakes is because she has lied so much it makes her very nervous when speaking. It is known as Lyah Nervosa and it does have a cure.

The republicans wouldn’t miss her as much as the democrats would.
