Umm, seriously Susan Collins?! (tweet)
"We’re making progress by inches," @SenatorCollins (R-Maine) said as the meeting in her office ended. Urged Dems to trust McConnell and move forward with reopening the government.

last time. There was a democrat - but the Collins name in Maine is so well known. It would take places like Portland to turn the tide (and they'd be battling parts of the state that are so red, it's about all they can see
)
I think Maine is the prettiest state in the Union, but when I made a choice about where to live in New England....I opted for a blue state. We'll visit Maine on the weekends.
that at least some Democrats must vote for because of her supposedly "moderate" credentials, then?
has NOT (I believe) promised a vote on it in the House, so a vote in the Senate would be essentially meaningless. There is also no guarantee, of course, that Trump would sign it even though he created the whole mess in the first place by ending the policy himself. If he was that keen for a Congressional fix, he should have done things the other way around by asking for Congress to send him a bill before terminating the EO. But, of course, that would require him to think and work, both of which he is unable and/or unwilling to do.
Any evidence that Dems are squirming/seriously contemplating this?
Manchin and Collins celebrate Senate vote to end the #shutdown. Say Collins’ office became a “little Switzerland” where bipartisan negotiations took place over the weekend.

Collins touts a "commitment from the Republican leader to bring an immigration bill to the floor." (McConnell's promise to her last year to vote on ACA stabilization was never honored.)
