It was called "a hall pass" from McConnell, knowing it won't make a difference

when it comes to the vote to convict, how will she vote?

(13,893 posts)4. Well, I'm wondering if it will matter to her re-election.
I'm not in Maine, but my guess is no... lines are drawn, she has already proven who she is and most likely Mainers have made up their minds...

Lots of people with sources last night, some will pan out, some won't.
But the gist of it is that McConnell has them all on a leash, and will let Collins vote for witnesses because he's already shackled the others and knows her vote won't mean a damn thing other than to the electorate, if they're gullible enough.
