With Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) facing the high probability that she may lose her Senate seat in the 2020 election, the Los Angeles Times reports that the embattled senator can't seem to wrap her head around the fact that voters in her state don't see her as an independent voice representing their interests.

According to the woman who is expected to be her 2020 opponent, statehouse speaker and Democrat Sara Gideon, voters are taking a harder look at Collins since Donald Trump became president and, more importantly, after her vote to put controversial Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court.

As for Collins, she doesn't understand why voters are turning on her.

"I don't even understand that argument. I am doing exactly the same thing I've always done. I've always cast votes with an eye to how they affect the state of Maine and our country," Collins said in an interview. "I think Mainers will look at my record, remember who I am and where I'm from."

This doesn't belong in DP, as Lil' Susie is not a Dem. Actually, if I posted this where it really belongs, that last paragraph would mandate the Comedy forum!

[Faux pas]

1. She's

not smart enough to hold any office.

[SharonAnn]

14. She committed to leaving after two terms. She's now running for a fifth term. There's that.

[Faux pas]

16. It's hard

for me to comprehend that the idiots who vote for her are dumber than she is YIKES

2. Understanding her constituents is job basics

Time to move on if you’re not up to it, Susan

3. That's why...

because you don't understand.

4. They'll remember all right

They'll remember sexual predator, Kavanaugh

5. If that's really the case...then she's stupid.

Stephen King lives across the street and there was a billboard parked directly in front of her house all day(unsure if he paid) listing the reasons why.

13. I love it!

6. She can't stand up for the Constitution. She'll never stand up for Maine voters.

Maine needs someone to fight for them she's already shown she'll could like a cheap suit when it counts.

7. It took long enough

"I don't even understand that argument. I am doing exactly the same thing I've always done.

The voters finally figured out her act. It’s about time
