Zoom in: Collins and Murkowski will be two of only three GOP senators left who voted to convict Trump in an impeachment trial. Neither have endorsed him this year, and they haven’t shied away from criticism.
She and Collins have already had spats with Trump. They voted to convict him, just to start. And if Trump gets in office, you can bet there will be a whole lot more.
Yeah… plenty of Republicans already did that. They got voted out or kicked out.
There are a few tough holdouts like Murkowski (Alaskan Senator), but the mass extinction already happened.
If they don’t do it Trump is going to throw them under the bus anyway. Do they really want to be on the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party?

We wouldn’t see any fighting Donald because she is a Repub. They are all in collusion under the Federalist Society.

Susan “he’s learned his lesson” Collins?
