Let's look at this from another angle. Let's review Susan Collins's record:

[Scrivener7]

Supporter of pedophiles

Voted with trump 96% of the time

Supported disenfranchising women and people of color through her support of the SAVE Act and her opposition to the John R Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Had the chance to be the deciding vote to force the exposure of dark money in elections in the Disclose Act, but instead voted against it.

Was one of the deciding votes to put Kavanaugh, an unqualified sexual assaulter, on the Supreme Court. She said she voted for him because he told her he would respect Roe V Wade. But did he? It seems she always votes to confirm judicial nominees with records defending abortion bans, restricting access to medication abortion, and advocating against reproductive rights.

She has voted for 95% of Cankles's judicial nominees. All of whom are chosen for their stances against women's rights, voting rights, environmental protections, medical safety rights, social service protections, etc.

Confirmed obvious lunatic appointments like RFK Jr, Joe Kent, Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi, Jeanine Pirro,

Voted against impeaching Cankles, saying she thought he had "learned a pretty big lesson."

Here's what John Fredericks, a conservative radio host said of her:

Well, the bottom, the bottom line is, look Susan Collins, every important vote in history, she's been there for us, every single one, and the votes where she voted, no it didn't matter, because we weren't going to get there any there anyway, or we already had enough positive votes. But when her vote mattered, she's never abandoned us, not one time she personally saved justice Kavanaugh with that speech she made in the well, I gave her a pass for that. That was one of the greatest speeches ever made.

This is just a taste of the damage she has done over the last 30 years. Imagine where we would be today if ANYONE had been able to credibly oppose her a decade or two or three ago.
