Susan Collin’s and Murkowski are strategically able to vote with Dems by the Repubs only as long as they have enough votes to pass the thing without them. They often must decide, like who’s up for reelection, who should vote that way.
Collins needs to fess up about that tremor, which I have noticed for over 20 years. My mom had one for decades....it was Lewy Bodies. Mom's was smoldering until it wasn't.
And yeah, Mainers can do SO much better than Collins. She's just embarrassing at this point.
Concerned...indeed. She's only worried about her cushy job and salary. She stands up to tRump when it is convenient for her to do so. The cheap shot was completely unnecessary. Mainers can, and will, do better without her!
The press aids this woman by falling in love with anybody they can define as moderate or the holy grail of network news the great bipartisan savior of America. Just look at Sinema, Manchin and Fetterman all basking in the glow of MSM approval. Whenever bipartisan ship is mentioned only the Dems are expected to compromise and given that the Dems need MSM approval and believe reporters are their friends they often do. I have to wonder how much capitulation by traditional Democrats isn't fueled by trying to appease the press. My theory is the Dems have embraced the teachings of Jesus about welcoming everybody, forgiving GOP trespasses and so much blind faith in America and Americans everything will be fine eventually. A huge mistake is believing in people who won't suffer under Trump will still care enough about those who will. Well healed pundits are especially prone to this. Look at Van Jones, Joe Rogan and Bill Maher if you want an opinion from the privileged and the lovers of their own success. Never forget people who can afford private school for their kids will risk having to put their kids in a public school based on a principle.
Given her health issues--debilitating progressive neurological disease is NOT fun--Collins may realize, as her late colleagues Feinstein and McConnell must have, that the USSenate provides the best all around care available to an aging public servant. It's not simply picking-up at the airport: staff writes almost all of her output, handles an increasingly confrontational media scrum and gets her ready for public exposure gigs.
Although I think her aides need a tune-up: it's pretty clear that Sue's brain was stuffed with the admonition 'don't bring up Troy's marriage' such that it was really all she could think about, blurting it out so she could clear the mental deck for other answers.
Susan Collins is a hypocrite. Queen of deception--she says one thing and then votes the opposite. She's overdo for a kick out the door.

Am I wrong?
Yes, they know what they are doing....they make sure the Repukes legislation will pass.
You are "right" - in the good way.

She’s flummoxed, nonplussed, perturbed, disturbed, discomfited, gobsmacked, bemused…
This is the reason we need term limits and age limits for all of Congress…
Regarding marriages between second cousins:
"First cousins, for example, are likely to share 12.5 percent of a grandparent’s genome, while second cousins have a mere three percent in common."

“I think you just mentioned it.” Well done, Jonathan Martin!

She must be voted out
