[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (2 children) No shit how else was she going to keep her seat in the Senate lol permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Nick@mander.xyz 7 points 5 months ago (1 child) Most of the party wouldn't risk primarying her in this environment. The NRSC knows no other Republican has a shot of winning the general, and they've definitely made that clear to the idiot in chief, who probably now understands there's a reasonable chance that the Senate flips. I don't think there's any political calculation here; she's being a dick because that's what she is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 1 point 5 months ago So last November the republicans ran a 'fair voting' law in Maine and it got voted down by 65% of the state. Susan collins seat is at risk indeed. I see a lot of Graham Planter signs in the place of the old Trump signs. I think they are shitting a brick about midterms and this law is a political calculation to do what ever they need to do to skew the election in her favor. At this point I think she might just do it for the head lines. She's always contemplating until last minute when she always votes with her voting block. permalink fedilink source parent [–] just_another_person@lemmy.world [S] 5 points 5 months ago (2 children) She's certainly losing that seat, to be fair. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago She was re elected even after the "He learned his lesson." ridiculousness. Americans are the problem. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 1 point 5 months ago nothings certain. Im hoping mills and collins flop and the young populist dude sweeps it. I would not be surprised at all to see Susan win a fair election or a rigged election. I would be pleased if she didn't. permalink fedilink source parent
