I saw something else today that nauseated me.

In a story in yesterday's Morning Sentinal, the newspaper in Waterville, Maine, our spine of oatmeal senior senator, Susan Collins, referenced a Boston Globe story that stated that she may be being vetted as a potential VP nominee for Hillary Clinton...Yikes!

Now, Hillary has done JUST FINE in the course of her campaign without any advice from me, but if I were to say anything to her about the possibility of taking Collins as her running mate, it would be "Hell F*** NO!"

Please Hillary, do NOT even give one nanosecond's thought to naming Susan Collins as your running mate. There are too damned many good Democrats out there!

PEACE!

20. Yes, they will. And, no way in HELL would Hillary set up SCollins to be prez in 8 years.

Plus she'd be the VP from HELL.

However, of course, this OP is now over in the Sanders group with a "Pssst...pass it on" - as if Hillary herself has already chosen her as a running mate. Which seems a tad ridiculous given that every response over here has been hostile to the idea.

...isn't exactly a hallmark of the BS group now, is it?

Of course, I'm sorry that they're using one of MY posts for one of their fantasyland based circle jerks!

PEACE!

11. Collins' record of helping maintain filibusters "busted" her reputation as a moderate.

She's just another GOP stooge for Mitch McConnell's anti-America mentality.

And, if Susie Collins did that, her career would be done. A very moderate/NE Republican VP pick for a fucking Nazi, MRA bigot?

Trump will pick Christie I bet, and HRC Perez I bet.

...Collins herself cited an article in the Boston Globe. Perhaps she was trying to stir up interest in the Donald Rump campaign!

It wouldn't surprise me to see Rump pick someone as mealy mouthed as Collins, but any woman whom would consent to being HIS running mate has NO self respect at all!

PEACE!
