Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is scrambling to distance herself from President Trump as she launches her desperate bid for a sixth term, proving once again that establishment RINOs fear Trump's America First agenda more than they fear losing to Democrats.
The Maine moderate announced her reelection campaign this week, immediately triggering a coordinated attack from Democrats who are trying to paint her as a Trump ally – a label that terrifies Collins more than it should any real Republican.
Here's the beautiful irony: Democrats are attacking Collins for being too close to Trump, while Maine patriots are finally waking up to the fact that she's been stabbing conservatives in the back for decades. Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place!
Collins' Record of Betrayal
Let's be honest about Susan Collins' track record. This is the same senator who voted to convict President Trump during the Democrats' sham impeachment circus. The same Collins who regularly sides with Chuck Schumer when it matters most. The same RINO who has made a career out of being the "moderate" vote that kills conservative priorities.
Now she's facing the consequences of trying to play both sides. Democrats don't trust her because she has an "R" next to her name, and conservatives are fed up with her because she acts like a Democrat when the chips are down.
"Susan Collins has spent decades fooling Maine voters into thinking she represents their values while consistently voting with the Washington swamp," said one Maine Republican activist.
Trump's Winning Formula
Here's what Collins doesn't understand: President Trump's overwhelming victory in 2024 proved that Americans want fighters, not fence-sitters. They want representatives who will drain the swamp, not senators who are part of the problem.
Maine patriots deserve better than a senator who spends more time worrying about what the New York Times thinks than what her constituents need. They deserve someone who will stand with Trump's America First agenda, not undermine it at every turn.
The question isn't whether Trump is a liability for Collins – the question is whether Maine Republicans will finally choose a real conservative who will fight for their values. What do you think, patriots?
