In reply to the discussion: GOP's Susan Collins to back Tulsi Gabbard confirmation [View all]dem4decades
(12,978 posts)30. Maybe it's time to admit this country sucks, and Maine too.
How many elections are we going to think Maine and this country are going to do the right thing? They elect Collins in Maine, Cruz in Texas, every asshole in Florida, and fuck the fly over country. We're not the best country on earth, I don't know who is but it's not us.

I was referring to Senator Collins aupport. She does this all the time; feigns concerns and then folds.

I call her "Windsock Suzy". Whichever the way the wind is blowing, that's the direction she is pointing to.

The whole Republican caucus is Susan Collins -- lights are on, nobody's home.

I literally would've bet $1000 to win $1 that if Gabbard's nomination came down to Collins' vote
