Collins would have been OK with a Muslim ban and mass deportation, but a joke about John McCain crosses the line https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/gop-senator-why-i-cannot-support-trump/2016/08/08/821095be-5d7e-11e6-9d2f-b1a3564181a1_story.html …

Where were these people's spines during the primary? Their stupid litmus tests ensure that no one reasonable makes it past Iowa.
