I don't buy that Collins was duped She knew exactly what she was doing in voting for Kavanaugh - and part of the proof is in her floor statement for him. She noted that K said he's overturned precedent if they were "grievously wrong" = which is of course what he thought of Roe.

Collins is so full of it. In her floor speech on Kavanaugh she said that he told her he would uphold long standing precedents UNLESS they were grievously decided wrongly. Well, that's what he thought of Roe -- and everyone knew it -- including her. She is not dumb and wasn't duped.

Genocide involves a systematic effort to kill members of a group. Now muting you.

They’re right! Israel committed war crimes, not genocide. If there was genocide the death toll would be far higher.

Um, people aren’t eating humans at the lobster festival. They’re eating lobsters, which are delicious crustaceans. Very yummy!

LePage rented an apartment above a business in Augusta and used that address to establish residency.

Senate Republicans try to give Susan Collins help with her campaign by having a committee pass a provision that's "still a long shot without a House companion bill" that wouldn't do much "because many insurers already charge $35 or less for insulin." #mepolitics www.politico.com/live-updates...

Poliquin wasn't a ranter.

Poliquin lost in 2018 after voting to repeal Obamacare.

Thank you.

That is what LePage did in 2014.

But who is LePage talking to? It feels like he’s in witness protection.

Have you talked to your neighbors? Written a letter to the editor? Signed up to canvass?

I was thinking he is like Mike Michaud, too!

The thing is, Platner led Collins through all that, so most Maine voters “stood with Platner.” And Troy Jackson is obviously no phony. Plus who does Collins stand with? Trump.

Many years ago I heard a campaign consultant say they design communications for people who pay attention to politics 5-10 minutes a week.

No, more like information sharing.
