    “No, I really don’t,” Susan Collins says to @jaketapper when asked if she believes she was lied to by GOP leaders that they would move on health care bills to win over her vote on tax bill

        Yes. The patronizing “oh she got fooled lol!1” arguments piss me off, and I suspect we wouldn’t be having them if she was a man. She knew *exactly* what she was doing when she screwed her constituents.

        Not sure I understand wh it matters. If she was fooled, she’s an idiot who shouldn’t be in office. If she wasn’t fooled, she’s a liar who shouldn’t be in office.

        It matters b/c it’s a frame too easily used with women...as if she could only be dumb or a victim and not a full agent in her horrible decision.

        I have always believed that we should treat @SenatorCollins as a fully capable woman with agency. She was not fooled. She sold our healthcare in exchange for tax cuts on the wealthy. She did it on purpose, she knew it and she does not care about you

        Exactly! Thank you, Corey! I live in Maine; Collins’ constituents continually make excuses for her. They are utterly and completely snookered. It’s so frustrating, but I’ll continue to shout from the rooftops.

        Ditto. It is confounding. You want to think she’s an elephant of a different color..a stoic, sensible Mainer, true to all that being one is...and then; She.Just.Isn’t.

        As a Maine Democrat who voted for @SenatorCollins, I say: I wont get fooled again. All republicans are Trump enablers.

        Once in 2014. Party line except that & 2006 Snowe. Voted Tom Allen in 08. No centrist/pragmatist can change Trump or his Party. New rule book. The Honorable Senator should go Independent like Angus King & and caucus w/ Dems, or switch parties. Adapt or perish. Clock is ticking

        & I’ve met & trust her CoS. That increased my trust in her. I liked her voting record. But here again ... even the best advisors & intentions of a single Senator cannot protect them against the criminal enterprise that is the modern Republican Party. Bummer, really
