Thank God. I saw Suzanne Collins just cucked out (not too surprising) and thought Lindsey Graham might be next, leading to a bunch of other RINO’s to follow.

She’s probably waiting to see if her vote actually matters.

No point in damaging her credibility as a liberal republican if we already have enough votes without her.

I think she will vote yes if and only if her vote is actually necessary for it to get done, otherwise she will vote no to keep her appeal as a liberal republican. After all she comes form a VERY liberal state, her very presence denies the Democrats a seat when they needed it most (Impeachment and Kavanaugh.)

The problem with that logic is that a "no" vote would completely tank her with the Republican constituency in Maine. It may be a lean blue state, but the Republican voters are just as as red-blooded as me or you. If she votes "no" on a floor vote, it will guarantee her a loss on election day.

I see it your way, but she knows her state. She has to figure out which choice loses her more voters. She might make the wrong one this time. It's a hard election to read. I'm not going to ding her because we cannot afford to lose a single seat in the Senate this November. Even a RINO seat.

My distrust with Collins is she doesn't seem onboard with the new electoral mechanics/targeted research. The fact she is from a lean blue state is more reason she should have been more prepared, more wargamed than a red state senator, but she never seems ready. She always seems to make her voting decision in a very touchy-feeling, rather than numbers based way. This has made her vulnerable to the loud liberal voices in her state. Had she and her team spent to the time previously to poll and research and may side with Trump to shore up the "law and order" vote when the riots were loudest she would not the problem. Maine is also a retirement state, failing to capture a voting demographic based on traditional sense of social and economic stability shouldn't have been a hard exercise of political imagination to test and to message. That would have given her buffer to vote yes.

I think she is most likely to abstain and state that she is present. That means she will stay out of the vote which does not really hurt us either.

She should take the high road and STAY THE FUCK AWAY.

How else will she get some attention? She's a nobody until this kind of shit comes up.

Abstain vote is better than a "no" vote

Not vote, I think. That's what she did with Kavanaugh. She is a cheater and snake. She shouldn't even be in the Senate because she stole the election in 2010.

Can you not read the words in the link?

I did the research for you -- you have to read.

How I found it:

We can lose three and still win. Shitt, Susan Collins and Murkowski.

I don't think Shitt knows he's playing with fire. There will be huge blowback on Mormons and the Mormon Church. I'm hearing some really ugly rumblings. If Shitt tries to fuck this up, I'm not going within a mile of a Mormon Temple for my own safety.

What are you hearing? Im no fan of LDS but I can’t imagine people are going to bring Romney’s faith into this unless he somehow says it was Mormonism that was guiding his decision to vote no.

This nomination is about 1 thing. Abortion.

The LDS church is not a fan of baby killing. That I can tell you.
