Regardless, Collins will be in the dark about whether her market stabilization bills will ever become law when she decides how to vote on a tax bill that nukes the individual mandate.

Golly, how ***WILL*** those votes go down?? There's just no predicting, is there?

They are just dogs, they run in a pack.

Is she a sucker?
Or, does she know exactly what sheā€™s doing?
She dithers like sheā€™s the former, but Iā€™m voting on the latter.

Like Ebenezer Scrooge if the ghosts never came. Scrooging until their dying day lamenting about the lack of workhouses and debtor prisons counting their gold coins that they will never take with them

Does Collins really think that voters will be unable to see through her obtuse behavior? All those folks who cheered for her in the airport just got stabbed in the back.

Congress has two houses, Collins can win the Senate, and the bill is never offered to the house. She gave up everything for nothing.

Thank God her seats up for reelection next year. Even if she decides to run for reelection and not for Governor, I think her seats doomed.

Well, in her defense, a tiny, pathetic, meaningless fig leaf, is not ā€œnothingā€.

I think Collins has been in the dark for her entire careerā€¦ sheā€™s a Republican.

She knows exactly what sheā€™s doing. Following orders.

Bingo. I dare say Suzie is in for a real treat when she lands for her holiday break. I hope they stick it to her good ā€“ so much so that it wrecks her holidays this year and for the rest of her days, and dooms her in any and all future runs for office. AND being spit upon every single time she leaves a building to walk on the sidewalk ā€¦ and attempts to enter a building. AND, after the spit, someone throws flour or used cat litter over Suzie. Make her rue the many days she claimed her faux moderacy.

(Thank you for the spitting idea, @squirreltown!!
(Thanks, @littlegirlblue, for the flour idea. I embellished with the kitty litter.)

The headline makes it sounds like they already have Collinsā€™ vote but the text says that they donā€™t?

This is just posturing to make it seem she is bargaining.

No one who knows Yertle believes him or trusts him. Neither she nor he expects these promises to be met. They both are desperate to keep those donors donating.

Now she has joined the rest of the liars and any credibility she had is gone.

McConnell knows the House wonā€™t pass them. So does Collins. CYA

A participant in the kleptocracy wishes us something, to get drunk possibly.

Being spit on in the street would be a nice touch.

Now she can just blame it all on McConnell.

Like I said, she would fold like a cheap lawn-chair.
