I do think, however, that the overpaid, mindless TV talking heads are going overboard on the opposition by Collins. I just wondered what on earth took her so long to speak up. The fact that she will not vote for Hillary, the only possible candidate that can make sure he never gets to the White House is disgusting. That makes her part of the problem, not the solution.
