Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    No big Susan Collins fan, but this is first anti-Trump endorsement I found to be persuasive. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/gop-senator-why-i-cannot-support-trump/2016/08/08/821095be-5d7e-11e6-9d2f-b1a3564181a1_story.html … Abt Trump's cruelty.

        Would a Henry Kissinger endorsement of HRC neutralize that?

        Saying she supports neither nominee is a cop-out. She should at least tell us if she's not voting, or voting 3rd Party or what.

        I don't care about that. It's more persuasive in that it doesn't read like a Hillary script.

        Sen Collins supported the GOP to make it fertile ground for Trump. She's just worried re: votes. Check her record

        Agree but as a President, I much prefer her judgment and experience. Also, things will move more progressively

        @washingtonpost Senator Collins waited until after the letter today. I found her reasons for holding out hope sickening.
