How many coat-hangers will it take for Susan Collins to get the memo? Kavanaugh WILL overturn roe v wade when the opportunity presents itself. Does she really think Mike Pence would allow trump to nominate someone who wouldn't overturn Roe v Wade?

How dumb can Susan Collins be? about to be tricked by 3 politicians in one year (Cocaine Mitch, Lift Bro Ryan, now KKKavanaugh)

Probably, but I guess she can afford to sacrifice these supporters. If she can still get reelected without them, and has a ton more political breathing room without them, why should she get out of her way to hold these supporters?

What?
She has less breathing room without them...or am i misunderstanding you?

well, Bush senior really trolled liberals when he was all but forced to nominate a black person to the supreme court, and proceeded to find and nominate the probably single-most conservative black dude in the entire country. :rofl:

yeah, I phrased it badly. what I meant to say is:

without having to consider these across-the-aisle supporters, she has more breathing room on policy, but less of a cushion electorally. my point is that this is a worthwhile tradeoff if she still has enough of a cushion to head into her reelection campaigns as the odds-on favorite.

That makes sense, and yes that's accurate. And even though i despise her for being so naive, i actually believe she doesn't care about power like the majority of her G.O.P. colleagues, i think she may actually believes kavanaugh thinks roe v wade is settled law, which is just silly as trump promised to nominate judges that would overturn roe v wade.

btw what do you think of the rumors that collins might switch sides and become a democrat?
