He represents a very Trumpish district, tends to be at least somewhat socialy conservative, and, most likely, was reelected last year mainly because he was unopposed. No big surprizes here.

How surprising is this? I wonder what he'll give his reasoning as.

Welp.  I think he knew there was a good chance he'd be taken out by the GOP in 2022 if he kept the D next to his name on the ballot.  This is unfortunate.

Democrats are such spineless chickensh*ts. Meanwhile you have Collins acting as a full-on MAGAbot while representing a D-leaning state.

1) Collins is and always has been a center-Left senator
2) Maine isn't all that D-leaning any more

Maine is too Democratic leaning for Collins to constantly give Trump a pass on everything. That aside, jumping on a sinking ship is stupid and when it's time for re-election the Republicans are going to run their own candidate who will probably win the seat, so this guy is not going to gain much in the long run.

Not being a far-right conservative does not automatically equal a Democrat.

So? That was merely a common-sense vote -- not partisan. Plenty of liberal republican senators voted for Kavanaugh.

Right NOW - of course. They existed in the past, but now even Collins, who is usually considered to be "the most liberal"of the group, is right-of-center.

I mean, you're the guy who would literally sooner vote for a pedophile than a Democrat for Senate, so you're clearly not the best judge of what is and isn't a "common-sense" or "not partisan" vote.

I'm impressed that Atlas Dems have somehow made a D in the PA Senate jumping ship an indictment of Susan Collins.

Reverting to bashing Susan Collins is basically the Atlas version of Godwin's law.

Collins is with Murkowski the only moderate/centrist Senator left in the Senate, they are the only two senators who are not voting +90% of the time with their party leadership partisan line

In present polarized world - not so surprising. Democrats will attack everyone with "R" after his name, even if that would be Jacob Javits reincarnated, and Republicans - the same with James Eastland in his place. Idiocy flourishes in US politics now.

Virginia has completed its transition into a Neo-Soviet oblast, there's no chance of it voting for a Republican at the federal level for at least the next decade. I'm saying this as someone who is not a trend hack.
