URGENT #GopTaxScamBill Per @TimGuinee: “Senator Collins office just told me she has not committed to vote for or against the tax bill. Slam her phone lines.”

Susan Collins is a total and complete deplorable. I loathe her and just the sight of her turns my stomach.

i think it's just a negotiating position. she's happy to vote for it, but she just wants to get a little something for her vote.

i.e., it's likely just posturing.

still, doesn't hurt to bring on the pressure....

Lucy and the football virus. Time again we keep convincing ourselves that she's really a modererate, that we only need to talk to her and she will see the 'right thing' to do and vote our way. And time again, when the political posturing is over and the time for the vote is here she humbly forgets all her 'concerns' and votes with McConnell. Do we ever learn?
