Collins called the allegations against Platner “troubling” in her first public comments on the matter on Friday and said he “has a lot of questions to answer.”

2. This is how we can strongly intuit she is going to lose.

Because she is so full of shit, Pence's fly is sitting on her.

She is obviously scared of running against Platner -- watch her shake!

She is obviously unconcerned about Mills -- watch her shake!

Oh wait, maybe the shaking is something different.

10. A good ad in Maine..

play a tape of her expressing her "concern" then subsequent vote for some horrible GOP bill or Trump nominee, then do another example, and keep repeating in the ad. Didn't she even express some concern over Trump endorsing Paxton? A reporter should put her on the spot and ask her if she is still concerned about him.

Someone who is supposedly concerned and troubled all the time but then does nothing except advance Trump's agenda is not fit for office.

What I'm troubled about, way more than reports about Platner's past, is the thought that Republicans like Collins could still hold on to their seats despite all the damage that they have done to our country. What does that say about our electorate should that occur? The people need to vote them all out.

That she looks like a poorly reanimated mummy. Everybody is troubled by something, so let’s suck it up and move on.
I really hope that she is finally eliminated this time around.
