Susan Collins is in trouble

[Anonymous]

“Catty comment”? It was simply factual. Susan Collins is an esteemed, ethical senator. She has a long record of bipartisanship and is widely respected on both sides of the aisle. I only wish I lived in Maine so I could vote for her.

For all the talk about the 2020 presidential contest, Democrats also know how important it is for them to take back control of the U.S. Senate — either to block a vengeful second-term President Trump from consummating his conquest of the federal judiciary, or to give a Democratic successor a fighting chance to get something done. But flipping the Senate next year will be really difficult, with Republicans currently holding 54 seats, and with one Democrat up next year, Doug Jones of Alabama, widely perceived as nearly a lost cause (unless Republicans again send up Roy Moore to take him on, which is unlikely). Most of the GOP senators up for reelection in 2020 are from solidly red states, which means that those who are not — particularly Susan Collins of Maine and Cory Gardner of Colorado, whose states were carried by Hillary Clinton in 2016 — really need to be taken down if Democrats are to regain control.

Of the two blue-state senators, Collins would superficially look like the toughest to beat. She’s been in the Senate since 1996, where she has split with her party just often enough to cultivate her image as a brave defender of Maine’s (and New England’s) all-but-lost moderate Republicanism. (She’s one of the last pro-choice Republicans in Congress). Her three reelection bids have shown her steadily improving her performance; she won 62 percent of the vote in 2008 and 68 percent in 2014. But the latest senatorial job-approval numbers from Morning Consult show Collins losing popularity steadily:

Collins’ net approval — the share of voters who approve of her job performance minus the share who disapprove — has fallen by 44 percentage points since the first quarter of 2017, when Trump took office. Forty-five percent of Mainers approve of Collins and 48 percent disapprove in the latest rankings, down 16 net points since quarter one of this year, as her campaign gears up in earnest to face a Democratic challenge from state House Speaker Sara Gideon.

I think we are learning some lessons. Trump is wicked unpopular outside of the Republican party - which is shrinking. If you're in a bright red area, then it's probably a good idea to stick with the racist windbag. And if you're not....

Knock wood, gd willing, these a******* will be out of power in two more years.

Susan Collins is a sell-out scumbag with a weird, shaky "old-lady" voice. She must go.

Aren’t you charming. Can’t wait until you develop your own shaky voice and are mocked for it.

Her husband has taken a lot of shady money.

Hahaha!!! That woman is not "esteemed." She's a liar and a crook. She is not "widely respected" either.

I suggest you move to Maine tout de suite. She's going to need your vote.

You seem very ignorant of her reputation among her colleagues and supporters. Sure, you hate her. So what?

I hope Susan Collins loses. She deserves to lose.

And I really do like her opponent. She’s fresh, young and has some great ideas. trump’s China tariffs are killing the Maine lobster market and they need fresh solutions.

Sweetie, I know all about Susan Collins. I would not waste the energy to hate her. Totally not worth it.

Once again, get packing for Maine.

She is a decent woman at heart. However she badly miscalculated on the BK thing. Many people believe the victim, and BK in his speech behaved terribly, and not at all like a SCJ nominee. It's not that we forget all the good she's done as a moderate Republican, but that was really a cringeworthy mistake on her part, probably in part because she's an older woman, and lived in times when wealthy white men did this with impunity. She forgot that things are different now, and that men are held to more rigorous standards of behavior - thank God!

She’s done. The Maine GOP is doing itself in with its legislative votes now, too.

You do realize she has a medical disorder - Spasmodic dysphonia. Same disorder that Robert Kennedy, Jr. has.
Good job mocking someone with a physical disability.

Her position on BK was the correct one. She was not going to let the Democrats tarnish a good man's reputation and name. Her speech on the Senate floor was fabulous.

Nope. That lie has been debunked.

I don’t think you understand that just as many people support her decision and view her as having more integrity in her little finger than most of the Democratic senators who created the Kavanaugh circus. I cringe every time I think back to that hearing, and not because of Kavanaugh’s understandably human behavior, but because of the disgusting and surreal grilling of his high school life (30+ years ago). She was one of the only senators to speak up for common sense and decency and not jump on the witch-hunt bandwagon. Whether she wins or loses her next election, I will always admire her for having a backbone and doing what was right.
