UPDATE: $15,000 away from offering a Collins opponent 50% of Collins' war chest. Pretty nice Senate race starter kit.

1. I wonder if this will have an influence on her Kavanaugh vote?

2. My hunch

If she votes, it's because she's not running for re-election.

6. Susan Collins was a 'right time, right place' candidate.

Susan Collins was a 'right time, right place' candidate.

She was in a three person primary race and so far back she could not even see the other two candidates' tail lights.

The millionaire candidate sponsored an investigation of the evangelist candidate who got run out of a southern state because he was boinking his twelve year old babysitter.

The millionaire denied his involvement but the public turned against him and the evangelist, leaving Susan Collins as the sole remaining viable candidate.

8. I Love This Tactic, And It May Actually Succeed

In the past, Collins has always been one to play coy, CLAIM she was undecided on any given issue, and then turn around and vote the party line at every turn. And there is no doubt in my mind that she was planning on doing the exact same thing in this instance. However, the ONE thing that speaks louder than anything else in Washington is MONEY. The size of that number may actually get her attention. And there's still plenty of time to get that number even higher.

Traditionally, Republicans haven't given two shits about regular people, because the monster campaign contributions don't come from them. Those come from big corporations and big money donors. So at the end of the day, those are the only ones Republicans listen to. But this amount of money might actually get her attention. Plus, 2020 is going to be a huge election with a huge turnout, and the way things are going now (and there's no reason to think it won't be that way again in 2020), a lot of people are going to show up to vote blue. So this might actually work.
