      Most of the party wouldn’t risk primarying her in this environment. The NRSC knows no other Republican has a shot of winning the general, and they’ve definitely made that clear to the idiot in chief, who probably now understands there’s a reasonable chance that the Senate flips. I don’t think there’s any political calculation here; she’s being a dick because that’s what she is.

        So last November the republicans ran a ‘fair voting’ law in Maine and it got voted down by 65% of the state. Susan collins seat is at risk indeed. I see a lot of Graham Planter signs in the place of the old Trump signs. I think they are shitting a brick about midterms and this law is a political calculation to do what ever they need to do to skew the election in her favor. At this point I think she might just do it for the head lines. She’s always contemplating until last minute when she always votes with her voting block.

        She was re elected even after the “He learned his lesson.” ridiculousness. Americans are the problem.

        nothings certain. Im hoping mills and collins flop and the young populist dude sweeps it. I would not be surprised at all to see Susan win a fair election or a rigged election. I would be pleased if she didn’t.
