Grassley promises Collins $3 million to counter grassroots fundraising

"“I’m going to help raise $3 million to match that,” Sen. Grassley told Fox News Tuesday in response to the swell of Crowdpac donations, which doubled after Collins gave a speech on the Senate floor on Friday announcing her support.

Collins has dismissed the small donations that have been raised against her as political corruption."
.....
"In contrast to the small donations raised for Collins’ future opponent, the $3 million that Grassley pledged to raise for Collins will likely come mostly through large corporate contributions, given Grassley’s history of fundraising for his own political action committees."

I can't believe Collins called my donation to her future Democratic opponent political corruption. Fuck her! Way to insult regular people, including Mainers like me. Now this Grassley guy wants to get involved on Collins' behalf with PAC money. Mainers are going to hate that 2020 Senate race. Too many out of staters meddling in it already. Doesn't matter how much they spend, Collins isn't going to win because she is a sell out.
