Has Susan Collins started a snowball rolling downhill ?

How many more Republicans will come out against Donald Trump? This could get ugly rather quickly. Or I should say, uglier.

Of course, Susan Collins is not running for re-election or it may have been a tougher decision for her? No one wants to piss off the 35-40% of Republicans that support Trump.

Will there be more?

She's already the 6th Republican Senator to do this, but her rebuke might have been the most forceful. Can you imagine the firestorm if 6 Dem Senators had come out against Hillary?

Will they risk their offices by announcing it? Not likely. I do think we're going to see a lot of endorsements for Gary Johnson as an attempt to get GOPs to the polls to vote down ticket. It might even work if they start contributing to him.

Fortunately, they're fools who won't realize this until it's too late to matter, at least I hope they're consistently dumb and pretend to back the Orange Slug just a little too long.
