Susan Collins does not "understand" why Maine voters have turned on her [View all]
From the Los Angeles Times via Salon:
MARCH 3, 2020 2:12PM
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!
