Governor of Maryland --- does his decision matter?

Every Republican Governor or other major Republican holding a prominent position, state or federal, that "rejects" trump "matters."
Unless they endorse Clinton and accept an invitation to speak at the DNC, it doesn't really matter. Sitting on the sidelines does nothing because Trump doesn't need them.

Collins would stand far removed ideologically from the rest of the D caucus, far more so than she is currently separated from the rest of the GOP caucus.
Collins is not far removed from the likes of Manchin, Warner, Donnelly or Heitkamp. By many measurements, she is to the left of some or all of the previously mentioned. If Bayh gets in, there would be a much healthier population of centrists on the Dem side than the GOP side which would basically just be her and Murkowski.

The problem with Collins becoming a Democrat isn't so much that she would be isolated (she already is), but that she would be much more vulnerable in a D primary in Maine than a R primary. Plus, she likes being Obama's pet Republican.

He's lost it. How in the world can you even justify this? At least have the decency to write in Cruz.

This RINO deserves to be hunted.

Dude, you were a Democrat until like yesterday, and I'm pretty sure you don't believe in small government. Who are you to decide who's a RINO?
Nobody who lives in a country of 300+ million people should believe in small government. Government should exist within constitutional and moral boundaries, not arbitrary size definitions.

If you don't support your party's nominee that was selected by the base, you are, by definition, a RINO. There are RINOs to the left and the right of the party. I was a Democrat because I supported (at least lukewarmly) my party's nominee, but this year I could not, so I left the party. Political parties are not religions, it is your responsibility to align yourself with like-minded people. If you're a foot taller than everyone else in the room, before telling everyone that they're short, maybe you should consider that you're tall?
