Susan Collins Could Be Toast As Her Approval Rating Plummets In Maine

Susan Collins Could Be Toast As Her Approval Rating Plummets In Maine

https://www.politicususa.com/2019/07/18/susan-collins-approval-rating.html/amp


"SNIP.......

No Senator has lost more for supporting Trump than Collins. Sen. Collins is most infamous for voting to confirm Trump Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, but she has also mastered the dark art of the bland statement that expresses “concern” about Donald Trump while never actually taking a stand against or condemning him. She also voted for Trump’s tax cuts for the rich, but in the end, she will be defined by her vote for Kavanaugh which is viewed as the single moment that put reproductive freedom in jeopardy.

Republicans were supposed to be able to maintain their Senate majority in 2020 with Trump at the top of the ticket, but Collins’ unpopularity combined withstatutory rapist Roy Moore running for Senate in Alabama, and white supremacist Kris Kobach running for Senate in Kansashas given Democrats a clear path to dethroning Mitch McConnell as Senate Majority Leader.

Collins is in free fall, and she may be unsavable in Maine. Sen. Collins showed her true colors with the Kavanaugh vote. Maine voters still remember and are set to give her the boot in November 2020.

Susan is weak and bland, pathetic. So are ALL her fellow demos. She just happens to have the "deciding" vote/opinion on a lot of things. She's no worse than all the others.
