SUSAN COLLINS CONCERN ALERT!

Embattled GOP Senator Susan Collins rips ‘completely inappropriate’ misconduct by Trump

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/10/embattled-gop-senator-susan-collins-rips-completely-inappropriate-misconduct-by-trump/



The Bangor Daily News reported on the comments Collins made following a firefighters memorial service.

“I thought the president made a big mistake by asking China to get involved in investigating a political opponent,” Collins said.

“It’s completely inappropriate,” the GOP senator added.

Collings is up for re-election in 2020 and is on the list of GOP senators who are thought to be vulnerable amidst the growing foreign election interference scandal.

Trump will be calling for your impeachment on the next tweet. With any luck, Trump will call for all of the Republican senators to be impeached before they vote on his.

As soon as she gets some "assurances".
We've seen this movie before.
They'll all say what trump did was bad, inappropriate, all the usual words. But they'll also say it doesn't constitute an impeachment.

Hey Susan a mistake is when you take the wrong exit off the freeway not when the fucking president commits treason!

Only if her vote won't count - and the rest of the Senate GOPjobs make sure Trump isn't removed from office.

Sorry St. Petersburg Sue - we know your M.O. here in Maine.

Yup

probably because she's ruined all her pearl necklaces by clutching them too often. This one might be able to withstand more vigorous clutching.

I hope you enjoy your remaining time in the U.S. Senate. It will pass quickly, so don't waste a moment. That's just some advice from a person who doesn't vote in Maine. Those who do, however, will wish you well in your future endeavors, I'm sure.
