Today, Susan Collins entered the race for U.S. Senate in Maine, as was always inevitable. It’s so far gone over like a wet fart in a hot car, and I’m here to pile on.

I read with amusement her op-ed in the Bangor Daily News and recognized it for what it is: the detritus of a focus group punched through ChatGPT, polished to a high sheen of glossy mendacity. It’s also a Rosetta Stone of her campaign to come, and a roadmap for either Graham Platner or Janet Mills to tear Collins up one side and down the other.

In 2020, The Lincoln Project went after Susan Collins.

Our former GOP friends lost their damn minds. “She’s one of the good ones! She’ll rebuild the party after Trump! She’s going to be vital for a new GOP!” And you know, at the time, even I was willing to consider those points, but still had a rule that Trump enablers had to go, just as Trump had to go.

Her team thought she’d lost on Election Day morning. I know. I talked to them that morning. We helped beat Trump that day, but she skated by. The Democrat lost, and still had millions in the bank. Lesson learned? Campaigns should die broke.

Still, you’d think Collins would use the power of a new era to break with Trump. Not so much. You’d think Miss Independent would be…independent.

Even after January 6th, 2021, Collins proved we were right to try to unseat her.

The normies who stuck with Trump after the first term, the COVID deaths, the electoral massacre, the endless chain of crimes and corruption, and now, the Epstein Coverup have a poster girl, and it’s Susan Collins.

Susan Collins is the worst of the worst because she plays moral, normal, and centrist on the Sunday shows while empowering, enabling, and embracing Donald Trump every time she thinks she can get away with it.

With that, let me dismantle her garbage op-ed, and by extension, her entire argument for re-election:
