Collins will NOT run for reelection - she will retire after this term

[jpak]

She has rendered herself un-electable in the Great State of Maine.

Margaret Chase Smith rolls in the grave.

1. For real?

She's not running?

[bearsfootball516]

3. She hasn't said it, but some posters have speculated that's the case.

Because she has to know that any chance she had of winning in 2020 just went out the window.

[jpak]

5. My prediction - and her unspoken intent with her Yes vote.

She will lose most of her Democratic support here in Maine.

She needs that to survive.

[MontanaMama]

9. She must never be allowed to forget what she did to women today.

EVER.

[jpak]

10. You can count on that

[JustAnotherGen]

2. I don't know

Working from home and was watching MSNBC prior to our long winded worthless speech. The Republican women there were definitely in support of her voting yes - and one clarified that the state was turning from purple to Red.

8. Whoever said the state was turning red does not live in Maine

That - or she's a liar.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

19. Yeah, not even close to red

If you look at where the population is in Maine, southern Maine, that is deep blue. It is the northern part that is red, but they have far less population. Senators have to appeal to whole state though. The majority of this state went for Hillary, but that weird rule we have about splitting the electoral votes by congressional districts allowed Trump to pick up one electoral vote from 2nd district, the red north. Hillary got 3.

[BeckyDem]

21. Yea, Maine is NOT turning red.

[octoberlib]

18. Maine isn't turning red. Collins is the only Republican Senator left in New England.

That lady on MSNBC has been watching too much Fox.

4. YEP and hopefully MOVE OUT!!!!!!!!!

People need to REMIND her of her vote everyday!!!

[smirkymonkey]

6. I hope she is harassed and hounded into her grave.

[UCmeNdc]

7. Vote her out of office. Susan Collins is useless!

She talks a good show!

[Anon-C]

11. GOOD. RIDDANCE.

[womanofthehills]

12. Susan Rice just tweeted she may run for that seat.

[Gothmog]

13. Let her run-it would be fun to vote her out

Link to tweet

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Absolutely right.

The same goes for McConnell and a host of others.

[luckykate54]

15. Oh poor Susan

She lost her spotlight. Murcowski is our new heroine! What her ugly face going to do now for attention?

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

16. I believe so too.

She screwed this one bad.

[Wounded Bear]

17. Wouldn't be surprising...

Typical...drop her turd in the Supreme Court punch bowl and then leave.

[Docreed2003]

20. Don't worry

I'm sure she has a sweet job lined up on K street as payment for this vote.

[lanlady]

22. She won't run again

Just a guess on my part, but I think her career in the Senate is done. Come 2020 she's looking forward to a $$$$$$ gig on Fox or on K Street.

But her sell-out of American women will live in infamy.
