Atlas on Heitkamp's Kavanaugh vote: Doesn't matter, voters will have forgotten in a month.

Atlas on Collins' Kavanaugh vote: COLLINS HAS JUST DOOMED HERSELF IN 2020.

People on the losing side of a vote generally face no political consequences for voting as such. A SCOTUS confirmation vote is no exception to this.

Susan Collins was never vulnerable to a 2020 primary challenge for 2 reasons:

1. Republicans are smart enough to know that it would cost them the seat. If they were not this smart, she would have been primaried in 2014.

2. The Democratic wave of 2018 was guaranteed to knock out all the potential high profile primary challengers, meaning that Collins would never have been up against a serious candidate in a primary.
