Quit Saying Susan Collins Is A No Vote

She's CONCERNED, but she has Not said she would vote No.

It is her valued opinion, that any vote should be held off on, with the Election Winner getting to make the pick.

She DOES NOT say that if there is a vote, she'll vote No.

She knows she's going to lose anyways, and will do this for the party. Roe Vs Wade proponent MY ASS. She couldn't care less about it, and will gladly vote for whomever her Leader nominates.

Just watch....she'll probably use the fact it's a woman as her justification.

The REAL question is: What if Biden wins?

#SusanCollins do you commit to NOT VOTE for a Trump Lame Duck nominee BETWEEN NOVEMBER 3rd and JANUARY 20th 2022?

Well? I'll wait.

19. She's Lucy and the press is Charlie Brown. We should ignore her and pressure others.

We all know she's a bullshitter who will fall in line at the last minute.

We need to go aggressively after other vulnerable senators.


By focusing on Collins, it provides cover for other vulnerable senators from media and voter attention.

Collins is like a sacrificial metal, added to take corrosive abuse and save the core product.

2. From what I have seen there are no confirmed NO votes from Republicans

people are mostly posting things many said BEFORE she died . And things like Romney's statements which his own people denied.

I wish people would check dates and things also before posting.

I wouldn't bet that Manchin will stay in line... and if it's Barrett, she garnered 3-4 blue votes three years ago.

She loses her seat she will forever be a pariah in the party she slaved herself for the remainder of her life if she does not vote to put their sixth fascist on the SC.

7. Collins will vote however Mitch wants

She always does on major issues, and few issues are more major than this. She has no spine, no guts, no principles, no compassion, and nearly no chance of being a Senator on January 3rd. Why should she give a damn?

McTurtle can make the difference between her getting a cushy K Street lobbying job and being a tour guide in Bar Harbor next year.

(on the R side) I have no problem with people attempting arm-twisting and shaming. But people are spending way too much time reading tea leaves. To no real purpose. The only CERTAIN "no" vote -- is one that's been cast.

I suspect that they will all fall in line, some may take just a bit longer than others. If not before November 3rd then immediately after.
