Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing is this week. What's Collins going to do?

[senseandsensibility]

I saw a chyron on MSNOW that a single R vote against Blanche could sink his nomination. Tillis and others were mentioned as possible no's, but not Collins.

Is "moderate" Susan really going to vote for this guy when she's headed into a very tight election in just a couple of months? She's not even going to make her usua concerned noises and then back down?

I guess we will see soon if there is even one R who has a moral compass.

1. She'll fold like a cheap lawn chair.

After lots and LOTS of handwringing.

2. As always...she will drag it out to appear concerned....

then side with tRump.

[Mz Pip]

3. He's learned his lesson

Will more than likely be her justification for supporting him.

4. I'm guessing she'll either vote Present

or avoid it altogether. I really can't see her asserting a position, standing firm one way or the other, and defending her policy... she has an almost arcane ability to effortlessly weave plausible deniability's into daily speech patterns.

5. She will vote NO, as long as she knows other will vote YES and he'll be confirmed.

Isn't that how Republicans roll?

10. She'll vote no, and Fetterman will vote yes.

The End.

6. Sounds like everyone is agreed that Collins will fall in line

but I still think that's very dangerous for her. It's something her opponent (whoever that turns out to be) will be able to use against her.

7. Collins wasn't mentioned as a possible no vote in the senate judiciary committee because she's not on the committee

Tillis and Cornyn are on the committee, and some are speculating that one or both might not go along with the Blanche nomination.

9. Thanks for that info

I thought it was weird that she wasn't even mentioned. Still, I do not have faith in Tillis and Cornyn. Hope they prove me wrong.

8. I think the confirmation hearing gets postponed.

Without Lindsay Trump needs to shore up the ranks

11. She'll be all "concerned", but vote for Blanche anyway
