<snip>

1) Senator Collins is widely popular in Maine but also elsewhere in New England for her hard work, knowledge of the issues, honesty, and service to her constituents.

2) Collins’ Senate record of never missing a vote is even more impressive than that of Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who almost never shows up to vote.(A possible place in the Guinness Book of Records for Marco?)

3) Collins has as strong a commitment to making business success her primary objective as does Trump. Her embrace of the elimination of the inheritance tax from her first days in office reflects this top priority, as does her fervent opposition in recent years to raising the minimum wage, lest small businesses in particular allegedly be hurt. Recall that she had her fellow Republican, Bangor School Supt. Betsy Webb, testify before Congress a year or two ago about the negative impact on public K-12 education of giving lots of low paid employees a pay raise (and limiting their hours of work to avoid having to pay for certain benefits).

4) Collins cares as deeply about small business as Trump does about big businesses. Each candidate would thereby nicely balance the other.

3. I think Trump is beneath Collins.

I can't imagine her ever wanting to be his VP. He seems like someone she would despise on a personal level. This totally would not be her style. She isn't going to attach herself to Trump given all the stupid shit he says, especially the sexist stuff. I really think Collins is smarter than that. I find it a little appalling even considering it. If Trump wanted Collins as VP and Collins accepted, then that would be one of those hell freezing moments. Trump didn't even win the Maine caucus, so she would piss off the majority of people in Maine doing that.
