The Republican position is that Democrats should try harder & waste more time pursuing the cooperation that they will inevitably not get. And press just eats it up!
Here's why Collins is mad: @WHCOS refuses to take her stale bad-faith routine seriously. She's used to being lavishly praised for it. 
This country is suffering multiple historic crises and Susan Collins is counting the number of times Biden people tweet about her.
I would really just love to hear from @elizacollins1 & @tparti why they didn't see fit to include in this article anything about Collins' long, long history of being "concerned" & making bipartisan noises & then voting with her party. Kavanaugh, impeachment, ACB, repeal of ACA...
Collins' has pulled this routine so many times it's become a running joke in political circles. There are memes about it. But you wouldn't get a hint of that from the piece, which frames Collins as maximally reasonable & ready to "work together." Why not just join her press shop?
Ah, my bad, two tweets up -- Collins voted against Trump's ACA repeal, though she did vote for ACA repeal in 2011. healthreformvotes.org/congress/300025
Now that it's more or less conventional wisdom among economists that the 2009 stimulus was too small, have any of the conservative Dems or moderate Republicans who fought so hard to make it smaller apologized? Or, like, learned?
