Matt Viser added,
I wonder why Collins doesn't go Independent like King?
Her position gives her a fair amount of influence...
it gives her a MASSIVE amount of influence and money to draw on during re-election. but also is a big gamble.
Not sure how massive it is atm. The current political environment seems so uninterested in compromise that it reduces her influence a bit in comparison to a saner climate.
She is the deciding vote on Obamacare, again. Therefore her state has to get something massive to sway her vote as if today
Agree on that. But that part would be same if she were independent, even if caucusing with Ds. In past she'd have more power shaping legislation because she could forge compromises. That doesn't seem to happen much in the last few years.
But by running as R she gains the RNC backing. She’d support NRA because Maine is pro gun in general so why not get RNC money as well?
Doesn't she have one of the worst NRA ratings of the GOP Sens?
I thought she was low but by no means way outside the margin of error. Not so far she irks her constituents at least.
IIRC she was one of the few GOP Sens working on a compromise gun control bill (largely introducing some background check expansion, including no-fly-list => no gun) a few mass casualty events back. But stuff like that is popular outside of some small bases.
