Concerned Susan Collins seemingly unaware of Trump's actions since she voted to acquit him.

catch that chyron: "GOP Sen. Collins Won't Say If Trump Learned Any Lessons After Acquittal."

of course, last week she excused her vote by saying he did learn from impeachment & would be more cautious.....

Here was the full exchange. Last week, Collins said she thought Trump would be “much more cautious” and had been criticized by both sides and that is “pretty big lesson.” I asked if she thinks he still may have learned a lesson. ->

Since George Washington was president, no elected president was ever removed from office.
Only way to remove a US president seems to be next election as was the case with Bush-41.
Work on winning election in 2020 and make Trump a 1-term president.

She claimed that no one since George Washington has been removed in that manner. So everything else has been a ruse.

from her dilly dallying around about Kavanagh? We all knew she would vote for him, then we knew tRump would get her vote. All the money McConnell steered her way will be useless when she starts campaigning against an honest democratic competitor.

The whole 'concerned' thing is a meme, and she's still doing it. And some, but thankfully, lots less people are falling for it.

In my personal opinion, anyone that is still falling for it, is not a particularly perceptive person. To be clear...I am in NO WAY saying anyone that believes here is a dupe.
