Susan Collins is trying to blame 'dark money groups' for her unpopularity

By Oliver Willis -
July 26, 2019

Maine has soured on the Republican senator as she's gotten closer to Trump, and she's looking to blame anyone but herself.

Maine voters have begun to sour on Republican Sen. Susan Colllins, and as a result her approval ratings are down by double-digits over the last two years.

On Sunday, Collins blamed the precipitous drop on unnamed "dark money" groups, instead of her support for the Trump administration and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

"The divisiveness of our country and the unceasing attacks by dark money groups in Maine have clearly had an impact," Collins told Bloomberg in an interview about her political future.

She expressed hope that Mainers will "really focus on the [reelection] race" next year and that "I'll be fine."

It's very simple, Susan. You are a shitty senator, and Maine voters are starting to wake up to that fact now that you have aligned with the Rump. Be concerned, Susan. Be very concerned!

That might have something to do with her unpopularity. Wonder how much of her campaign war chest comes from dark money.

She is unpopular in her own right and would not be a senator if it were not for the dark money propping her up.

Her fiscal conservative, socially liberal stance is bullshit. It took awhile but Mainers hate liars.

She thinks she is Margaret Chase Smith,.. but a far far cry from Senator Margaret Smith.
