'Susan Tries To Play Both Sides': Maine Voters Weigh In On Sen. Collins, Impeachment | MSNBC
All the witnesses, all the documents! America deserves no less.
I anxiously await the Biden’s testimony. Not that it matters much when you have an acquittal coming
They took her in for discipline, she’s covering for her team now.
And here in Augusta, same thing. She’s seen as flip flopping to gain both votes. And the second she voted against witnesses and documents in the Senate, she lost a ton of votes here.
*Susan Collins is paid to represent her donors, not you.*
Her donors want Trump and his trillion dollar tax cuts for the rich to remain in office.
They always trot out Murkowski & Collins to fake fairness! Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins were sent out during the Brett “I Like Beer” Kavascum Hearings to make it ‘seem’ like the Ru-publicans cared about the process and would do right by the Hearings. But no they did not. I will NEVER, EVER FORGET Collins’ slimy, smirking smile as she announced afterward she confirmed him with her head held high in a look that said, “F you people, we’ll do whatever we want.” And they did. They are Disgraceful. They are NOT to be counted on for anything other than supporting the corruption in the Senate and the Traitor Trump – the worst president in the history of the country.
RU-publicans… I like it! I will be stealing it. Sorry and thanks!
Murkowski did not vote to confirm Kavanaugh, but she was glad that her vote against didn’t count.
Of course. She’s occasionally allowed to vote against Trump when it won’t matter.
Should not be so hard… Trump tried to rig the election and got caught…
Precisely!
You realize he was investigating corruption in Ukraine a year before biden says he was running?
@kyle grant no he wasn’t.
@kyle grant No he was not; care to name *ANY* other corruption Trump has investigated while you’re making sh*t up?
Collins is not only Maine’s disgrace, she is a national disgrace who enabled trump and Kavanaugh. Do your duty Maine voters and dump her.
The whole country is a disgrace with a president as foul as Trump. The world laughs for good reason. wtf is wrong with Americans??
@Mainely Collins just can’t get off that fence, can she?
We will!
Stephen King comes from Maine!
@Nathan Harris except that justice Kavanaugh was not on trial. He was a nominee being confirmed for a seat on SCOTUS, so no proof was necessary.
Mealy mouthed Susan Collins will do the typical wavering head fake towards justice, then cut hard into the arms of destruction of the Constitution.
So right
Hypocrisy is a small price in pursuit of absolute power.
Collins will do the same thing with the Senate trial, that she did with Kavanaughs’ confirmation hearing: talk like she cares, then sides with Republicans over what’s best for the Country.
Either way, I predict that she will lose her seat in November.
Too many times she has proven party over Country.
The vast majority of Americans, 70%, want witnesses and testimony, not more of the same criminal behavior and cover-ups.
Collins has lost the once widespread bipartisan support she had up here and she feels it, hence her pretending to be “oh so concerned” while voting in lockstep with Rs.
@Mainely I have friends that live there and they were saying that she knows she’s not getting re-elected, regardless what she does at this point or what Trump says to endorse her.
I was disgusted by her “outrage” over Democratic managers saying it would be a coverup to not allow witnesses and documents…70% of Americans believe that as well
@Any Sane Person 2020 Or her
” outrage ” because Schiff quoted Trump’s reported threat to Republicans that broke from the ranks. That by voting in favor of the evidence and witnesses, their heads ending up on pikes. Then using it as a reason ( excuse ) to say she’s not sure about supporting witnesses or evidence now.
VOTE Susan Collins out. She is looking out for herself. 2 face
Mainer here and you nailed it. In the past she was seen as very reasonable and many of us in the D party (including myself) supported her and campaigned for her; I used to stop by her field office and encourage her staff, thank them for working for all of us etc.
Not any more.
This year I am casting my vote for the Democrat Sara Gideon

Susan Collins is a greedy, power hungry witch. Just like every other Republican
bring on the witnesses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!collins you are doomed if you refuse, your constituants want to know the facts
Siberia Susan needs to retire….in Ru$$ia
🎶corruption junction what’s your function GOP🎶#TRE45ON
Anyone holding out hope for Collins, especially after Kavanaugh, is looped in a cycle of lies and manipulation.
Collins talks out of both sides of her mouth! Can’t be trusted!
Treasonous Collins, who UNFORGIVABLY helped Kavanaugh and other neo-nazis onto the bench, must be voted out of office!
She has betrayed us FOR THE LAST TIME!
The sad thing for Republicans is that, if it weren’t for Trump and McConnell they’d be facing an easier and less expensive re-election. Oh well; lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.
Collins does the same thing every time she acts like she’s opposed to something and then in the end she votes the opposite way
Four years ago are used to be Republican. Republicans had better ethics years ago. Even the Republicans win Nixon was going to be impeached, for Republican senators had a meeting with him and told him to resign because they were going to have to go with the evidence. You will not see that happen today, they are all corrupt.
With she had retired, and Olympia Snowe had stayed in the Senate.
Maine voters already disgusted about Susan Collins since the long lecture she brought up on the senate floor to make Kavanaugh in SCOTUS.
She must have found out by now that the fence she is sitting on is very, very sharp indeed.
Senator in the main for Susan Collins has never essentially changed from the two-faced shameless opportunist who slid into the Senate in1996.
Those citizens ain’t playing around, and they’re not so easily fooled either. Let’s hope the rest of the country is as insightful.
