ME Sen I can't really be Collins it yet

[Non Swing Voter]

she lost her independent card based on her latest senate votes.  the country is very polarized and there's not much split ticket voting.  people aren't dumb, they know she does backroom deals with Mitch McConnell allowing her to vote certain ways now and then but giving the GOP votes when they need it to get to 51. 

Because of all that, very few people will say "I don't like Trump and McConnell but I'll give Collins a chance."  If Trump were in a position to keep Maine close it would be one thing, but she's not going to win when Trump is likely to lose the state by 8 points or so.  Also, with the competitive congressional race, Democrats will be turning out their vote there.  They may lose that seat but it will keep that district closer than the Portland one.  Plus the Democrat has raised a lot of money.  She's just not in a good spot and it doesn't seem to be getting better.

She's spent too long in Washington.  Do people like her have any remaining dignity?  or is her only goal in life to keep getting re-elected to Congress?  Seriously just retire already and enjoy the pretty lakes in Maine.

In case some others haven't seen it. Collins will not vote for SCOTUS nominee in lame duck or before election.

Bologna. Once she's lost re-election, she has nothing to lose by screwing us over for the next 40 years

Well presumably she still wants to live in Maine.  I don't think she'd want to live there after doing that to her constituents.  But maybe she has Palm Beach retirement plans.
