“Let’s debate tonight!” responded @SenatorCollins to a question on debates with democratic nominee @SaraGideon. Collins says she wants at least 16 debates, one in each county

Why stop there? Why not have a HUNDRED debates? No, a THOUSAND debates! Have one on every street in Maine!

Sen. Collins sounds, dare I say, rather concerned.

unfiltered out to every voter as often as possible. The people are on our side on every issue so no reason to cower in fear.

Also, she originally ran on a pledge to 2 term limits....guess that was a lie as well.

Watch this video - behind that calm demeanor, beautiful face and high intellect Sara Gideon sells it. Time for the ever "concerned" Grandma to retire from politics.

She has flatly refused to have any town hall meetings and will not meet with constituents and now she wants 16 debates? Stick a fork in it, Susie. Your time is up.

I seemed to recall that Sen. Collins had assiduously avoided any town hall meetings during her time in office. This proposal could be the first time since she was first elected that Collins will have set foot in many counties.

For 10 hours at a time, uninterrupted.

And still she won't be able to come to any definite conclusions about anything.
