When she voted for Kavenaugh, she didn't think this day would ever come. Well Susan, it is here.

Just kidding...I’m not at all concerned. I sure hope she is, however.

She seems to get off on misleading people. "Oh, I might just vote the other way." she says, then she does what she always does and votes with the cult.

Given the partisan split in Maine there doesn't seem to be enough Republicans to save her even if they all showed up and voted for her. I never understood how she stayed in office so long in a State as Blue as Maine.
