Sen. King (I) just endorsed Clinton.

Sen. Angus King, an independent from Maine, just endorsed Clinton on CNN and gave a great explanation of why.

1. It would be great if Sen Collins also endorsed Clinton.

It might happen. Seems like she will just not endorse anyone just to make nice with her party. She talks like she despises Trump and actually likes Clinton.

2. Is there precedent for a US Senator with one major party endorsing the pres candidate of the other

...major party?

Joe Lieberman doesn't count, since when he endorsed John McCain, Lieberman was serving in the US Senate as the nominee of the "Connecticut for Lieberman Party."

I was crying laughing!

10. Thanks. Zell Miller retired from the Senate shortly after that (didn't seek re-election in 2004). NT

4. I think she will not endorse anyone publicly.

I think she will vote for Clinton though. I'd be shocked if she endorsed Trump. It would look bad on her to do so. She keeps getting re-elected because she is know for being a moderate. I think that is a reputation that she wants to keep.

everything but a couple of weeks ago.

12. Susan Collins said it's 'unlikely' that she'll vote for HRC but possible.

5. There may be several closet Clinton Republican voters. They can't speak out but the vote counts the

most of all.

8. I suspect

that Clinton well get a decent percentage of Republican women.

6. I like Senator King...

This is a great endorsement!
