Ooh, now do Joe Biden who pledged to only serve ONE term as president but then liked the gig so much he decided to run again!  And would indeed have run - in a cloud of senility - had he not been forced to step down.  Remember that?[/quote]

As someone who actually lived in Maine when Collins first ran (and who worked for her opponent in that campaign), I think being honest people should acknowledge that Collins was encouraged by her constituents to run for a third term - and a fourth and fifth - and that she has enjoyed crossover support and strong support from swing voters for decades.

It’s not inconsistent to have made a campaign promise regarding self imposed term limits and to fail to keep the promise when your constituents are begging you to stay in office and the results at the ballot box suggest it’s a widely held position. [/quote]
+1 This isn’t a great argument (although quit the Biden whataboutism - he never “pledged to only serve ONE term as president”) and the argument that she never ever holds town halls is a much stronger one.[/quote]

You’re really splitting hairs here.
