https://politicalwire.com/2017/12/10/collins-undecided-final-tax-bill-vote/"SNIP..........
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said she has not yet decided whether she will back the final measure negotiated by House and Senate leaders, Reuters reports.
Collins vote was important since the Senate approved the bill by 51-49 vote after an 11th-hour scramble. With Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) voting against the bill, there is little margin for losing support.
If Collins and Corker vote against the final tax bill, leading to a 50-50 tie, Vice President Mike Pence would cast the winning vote. But if more than two Republican senators vote no, it would fail.

I expect Trump to back a primary challenger in Maine to run against her. He has the money to make any Republicon's life a living hell. All he's got to do is screw with one of them, and the others will cower in fear.
