When I went to Maine last summer, I found people who still like Susan Collins, people who appreciated her clout on appropriations, etc. But also a lot of Democrats angry about Kavanaugh, Trump, etc. and even Trump supporters upset she wasn't more supportive of the president.
Now she's got to navigate an impeachment trial with the brightest spotlight imaginable.
A pickle!
A pickle!
