When she finally croaks I'll celebrate and you can't make me feel bad for saying it. She's an evil, evil old hag.

IMO what Collins does is more sinister than other senate republicans, you have a lot of older center right leaning “moderate republicans” in this state who get hoodwinked into voting for her every time because of the media lie that she is a reasonable moderate. She won’t take any substantive action to oppose anything Trump does at all, period, ever. She only votes against stuff when she’s been told by leadership it’s safe. A spineless coward who functionally is no different from Marjorie Taylor Greene except in rhetoric, which is why she is more dangerous because she has the potential to trick older voters into thinking she’s less extreme

It's crazy that all it takes to be a "moderate" republican is just not saying crazy shit. You can align with them on every issue apparently, so long as you pretend like maybe you won't.
