2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI think Collins is lying..I think she will vote for Trump. Otherwise
why would she give him the benefit of the doubt about yesterday's statement? I find it hard to believe that she does not think he is encouraging violence. I can see her talking about how dangerous he is for political reasons and then secretly voting for him.

(6,496 posts)Are you from Maine? I can tell Collins despises Trump. It would not be like her to support him. I think she secretly supports Hillary, but she hasn't publicly endorsed her.

(4,150 posts)Susan Collins' claim to fame is for being a "moderate."
Well, her mere presence in congress with an R behind her name encouraged her fellow fascists to try to fuck with our president's agenda for EIGHT years. . . I despise her AND her "moderate" reputation. I didn't hear dear Susan speak up when her party STOLE a presidential election, NOR did she speak up when her party went COMPLETELY off the rails.
And she's waiting till NOW to speak up?

Collins only despises trump Bc he put her in a tough spot politically. If it was easy to support trump, she would support trump with a smile. She has no principles. She has wavered on every major issue

(1,122 posts)Susan Collins spinning this is an attempt to water down the controversyand, likely from her understanding, it is in the best interest of the Republican Party for this to go away as soon as possible. (Yesshe was deliberately full of crap.)

(42,770 posts)to wait as long as she did. Personally, though, could only listen to her for about 5 seconds since her whiny voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard.
All these wishy washy repukes have one thing on their mind ! their own jobs. And, if they piss off at least half of their voters.

She could always change her mind, I suppose, and perhaps her recent statements do amount to a ransom note.
