Susan Collins on Saturday became the latest Republican senator to criticize President Donald Trump for calling on foreign countries to investigate a political rival, saying he made a "big mistake."

“I thought the president made a big mistake by asking China to get involved in investigating a political opponent,” Collins said at a press gaggle in her home state of Maine, according to the Bangor Daily News. “It’s completely inappropriate.”


She will write a memo and save it in the draft box on her Outlook.

True, here it is, so we can keep this thread focused on Collins’ pursed lips of concern.

Susan Collins can save herself by "coming to the unfortunate realization" that Trump has committed impeachable acts, and that therefore she must vote to remove him.


Same playbook for all Senators currently at risk.



Most of the Senators at risk are moderate Dems.

Remember what happened in 2018.

Doug Jones of Alabama is at risk, yes, we know. Any other Democratic Senators at risk?

You need to check the plethora of real polls. That red map was all wrong, Trump got his hands on red Sharpies.

You mean the blue wave, when we took back the House?

Dems never had a chance of taking back the Senate in 2018. We have a small chance in 2020.

It's too bad for Collins that even that fact will be used against her. Mainers are very provincial.


You sound elitist.


Clearly you have never lived in Maine.

Well, that’s quite a word salad.


She was married to a WH speechwriter - he had to leave the WH after being accused of beating the woman you are accusing of writing a word salad

There’s no money to be made from that. Deep pocket donors have bathed her in money for scolding Bretty’s opponents.
