    Susan Collins told reporters "I struggled with it for a long time" and was "disturbed by the allegations." But her speech gave an impassioned defense of Kavanaugh on all levels from his judicial philosophy down to allegations against him, while suggesting Ford may have been used

        Collins didn't struggle and wasn't disturbed—she had her hypocritical and very lengthy speech ready to roll.

        What bullshit. @SenatorCollins talked about Kavanaugh like he was from the Brookings Institution instead of the guy who gave that partisan screed. What a fraud she is. #Maine women will boot her ass to the curb.

        Replying to @mkraju

        Really. The first half was a two-week old portion. And she seemed to suggest nominating the guy who said "what goes around comes around" and "revenge of the clintons" would fix partisanship.

        @JoeManchinWV waited until his vote didn't matter to announce he's the only dem voting yes. Gutless coward. He sold out his party (proving he's really an 'R') & every woman in his state & our country. He'll sleep well since his soul is gone & his reelection looking good now.

        @SenatorCollins has betrayed her hardworking constituants in Maine...She has betrayed her own promise to protect the Pro-Choice Position in our Nation's Capitol....When she returns to Maine, she will be renounced, shamed, shunned. Her political career in Maine is over.pic.twitter.com/sRpYja4bl0

        After that speech, it’s obvious that the only thing she struggled with was how to best regurgitate the GOP talking points.

        Sen. Collins' modus operandi has been to *agonize* over issues, and then consistently default to the party line.

        She didn't struggle, we knew all along how she was going to vote: against women, in every way Kavanaugh's professed legal beliefs can be taken.

        She was notably silent about Kavanaugh’s inappropriate, partisan demeanor under oath and his perjury. She misconstrued and cherry picked his decisions and verbal statements.

        OMG SUSAN COLLINS.......Who have you been listening to? The Earth isn’t round and Obama’s wasn’t born in Greenland. You don’t belong on the Senate; you’re too easily influenced by LIARs, OBSTRUCTIONISTS, and THE GREEDY. Vote COLLINS OUT. #VoteBlue #BlueWave
