Susan Collins Is Headed For Disaster As Just 37% Of Mainers Approve Of Her Job Performance

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

Maine Sen. Susan Collins (R) appears to be headed for electoral disaster in November as just 37 percent of voters in the state approve of her job performance, according to a new poll.

The survey from Critical Insights shows that Collins’ approval rating has fallen five points since last fall, with 52 percent of Mainers disapproving of the work she’s doing.

Words cannot adequately express my deep concern.

1. Thoughts & Prayers nt

[guillaumeb]

2. Allow me to join you in them. And welcome to DU. eom

[idziak4ever1234]

21. LOL!

[MineralMan]

3. Good.

[guillaumeb]

5. Let us hope that Mitch McConnell joins her in the unemployment line. eom

[helpisontheway]

46. And Lindsay Graham.nt

[DFW]

4. I am most concerned about that 37% number

I think it is double what it should be.

[guillaumeb]

6. It might closely correlate with the 38% who approove of Trump. eom

[DFW]

11. That number is also about double what it ought to be n/t

[LakeArenal]

25. Nationally I'm sure her approval is less.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

30. It's a ranked choice race - doubtful she'll win unless something changes between now and then. n/t

[TlalocW]

54. There's about 25% to 27%

Of the country that's going to support a republican no matter what (that's the lowest George W. ever got in his approval rate), and it takes a lot to get down that far. Being seen (correctly) as spineless and a Trump stooge just isn't enough, but this is still good.

[SheltieLover]

7. Performance?

Doesn't that word imply that she actually does something besides hand wringing in public & gleefully rubbing her greedy repuke hands in back room deals?

I wonder if she is concerned? 🤮

[guillaumeb]

9. She does an adequate job of acting like a human being. eom

[SheltieLover]

24. Yuk

Not by my estimation. I see pearl clutching all over her. Waste of oxygen. 🤮

[erronis]

43. Collins. "Waste of oxygen". I'd add "waste of carbon and all other elements of life."

Poor, poor susan (not)

[SheltieLover]

47. Absolutely!

[MFGsunny]

8. Deep concern and disappointment even?????? Reaping what she's sown.

Karma is a bytch and she's got sisters (who also show up).

[ProudMNDemocrat]

10. Kissing Orange Ass leaves a stain on one's mouth.....

Cause for concern indeed.

[guillaumeb]

12. And a stain on the mouth can be washed.

The stain on her character will remain.

[GWC58]

13. My wife has family in

Maine... There’s no love lost for Senator Collins up that way.

[guillaumeb]

14. She is weak, spineless, and useless.

And she shares those qualities with most of the GOP members of Congress.

[lastlib]

39. A jellyfish---

spineless, floats with the current, and feeds from the bottom. That's the Susie I know and despise.

[iscooterliberally]

15. She has always been a skid mark on the underwear of democracy. n/t

[guillaumeb]

16. Points for imagery. eom

[iscooterliberally]

19. Thank you! I'll be here all week.

and probably for the rest of the month. Staying inside away from people. Stay safe guillaumeb!

[guillaumeb]

20. Stay safe, and sane, as well.

Guill

[DenverJared]

17. She can evaluate where she went wrong after November

hahahaha

She always pretended to be a swing vote and then voted with Trump anyway. That deserves more contempt than being with Trump all the way and not pretending.

[guillaumeb]

18. Welcome to DU.

She pretends to be decent, and concerned. But yes, she is a lying, spineless, Trump enabler.

[Lochloosa]

22. I'm having Vapors over this....

[doc03]

23. I bet she is really concerned over that nt

[Yavin4]

26. She will need new pearls to clutch. n/t

[OAITW r.2.0]

27. Hopefully, she is a canary in the coal mine for the Republican Party.

I'd love to see Republican internal polling. People remember who let this fake President skate his deserved impeachment. Trump owns the GOP, I hope every one of them pays the price for letting this idiot take over their Party.

[sheshe2]

28. Here is a Mainer that won't be voting for her.

[dailytroubadour]

29. I too am "deep concerning"

Let the "deep hurting" commence.

[grumpyduck]

31. Get her outta there!

[Blue Owl]

32. Clutch those pearls Susan... CLUTCH THEM

n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. I hope she's deeply concerned and disappointed.

[Cha]

34. Susan Collins has Earned every step of the way.

[Mr. Ected]

35. She already got hers, win or lose, she took what Mitch was giving

She had to know this gig would end one day.

You gotta think she fattened her purse a whole helluva lot over the years playing the moderate Republican in public and the obedient Republican behind closed doors.

[Firebrand Gary]

36. What a fabulous time to donate to her competition!

[flibbitygiblets]

41. Her competition is Sara Gideon, Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives

and they're in a statistical tie

Please show some love to Sara if you can.

[Indykatie]

53. Anyone Remember When We Raised Millions During the Kavanaugh Hearing For Collins' Opponent?

Gideon has raised $7.6 million and has $2.8M cash on hand. She's the only one of the 4 in the Dem primary with this level of fund raising and will undoubtedly win the primary and get the "Kavanaugh cash" we raised.

[flibbitygiblets]

61. That explains why I wasn't immediately asked for money when I visited her site

The challengers for Lindsey Graham (Jaime Harrison) and McTurtle (Amy McGrath) seem to need cash more right now -- and they're both well-positioned for an upset!

[Indykatie]

62. I Agree There Are Others That Need the Contributions More

Whoever runs against Collins will have no trouble raising money since it's such a high profile race. Same with Astronaut Kelly running in AZ. He'll be flooded with cash too. I've sent a contribution to Mcgrath but Jaime Harrison wasn't on my radar, so thanks for that.

[Paladin]

37. Glad to hear it. I can't stand her. (nt)

[Coventina]

38. Tots & Pears....n/t

[Dream Girl]

40. This is troubling

[CTyankee]

42. I never could understand her charm...

[liberalla]

44. Filled with joy here, I am!

Sweet!

[Submariner]

45. Trump ruined Maine's lobster export biz to China, the largest buyer of the bugs

that phony tariff war ruined for it them, and Susie never went to bat for the fishermen.

[lame54]

48. She must be concerned

[guillaumeb]

50. About who her next employer will be?

I am certain that she will become a highly paid lobbyist somewhere.

[UTUSN]

49. K&R

[Faux pas]

51. ...

[WhiteTara]

52. Crazy headline writers. She's headed for defeat.

[bdamomma]

55. cut her off

vote her out

[madinmaryland]

56. While I might have some concern, I will send her "thoughts and prayers". nt.

[guillaumeb]

57. I will send her a sympathy card if she loses. eom

[Hekate]

58. I am very very very ...concerned

Also, thoughts and prayers.

https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/susan-collins-takes-hours-to-decide-on-lunch-before-ordering-exactly-what-mitch-mcconnell-is-having

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—On the first day of the impeachment trial in the United States Senate, Senator Susan Collins, a Republican of Maine, spent hours trying to decide what she would have for lunch before ultimately ordering exactly what Senator Mitch McConnell was having.

Clutching the Senate takeout menu in her hands, Collins told reporters mid-morning that the decision of what to have for lunch was a matter of serious consideration and that she wanted to review all of the available options before selecting one.

“I’m deeply troubled and concerned about getting this order right,” Collins said. “There are many valid choices on this menu and I don’t want to give any of them short shrift.”

Around 11 a.m., rumors swirled that Collins was leaning toward ordering a quinoa salad, a choice that would have set her apart from the rest of her Republican colleagues in the upper chamber.

By noon, however, Collins emerged from her office to tell reporters that she had ordered the exact same thing that the Senate Majority Leader had chosen, a roast beef sandwich on a roll.

“At the end of the day, there was just not enough evidence that ordering anything else would have been better,” she said.

According to sources, Collins spent the lunch hour eating her sandwich alone at her desk and trying to determine why everyone hates her.

[guillaumeb]

60. Andy Borowitz for President. eom

[treestar]

63. Rec'd for your last line

I am also deeply troubled.

[guillaumeb]

65. In my view," troubled" sounds even more....something.

I share your feeling.

[Dem4Life1102]

64. Good!

Never liked or trusted her.
