Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) on Sunday said she hopes Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, who several woman have accused of sexual misconduct, “does not end up being” in the Senate.
“I’ve never supported Roy Moore and I hope that he does not end up being in the United States Senate,” Collins said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Collins said it was “too early to say” whether the chamber would vote to expel Moore if he wins his race in November, but said she did not find his denials of the allegations against him “to be convincing at all.”
“I read his explanation, I listened to his radio interview,” she said. “So from my perspective, these are credible allegations against him.”

Endorse Doug Jones. Put country ahead of party.
FOX: Moore is perfect as a Republican nominee for POTUS. Trump/Moore ticket will be unbeatable.
If I know today’s Republicans, there are more than a few among the party’s “leaders” who are hoping Trump’ll offer Moore the next SCOTUS seat if drops out of the Senate race.
Neither have McConnell or the groper-in-chief so you’re in good company.
Flake did—said if he were in Alabama he would “run” to vote for Jones. But some of these mildly oppositional GOP critters may feel like they can only get out so far ahead of their voters. They’ve devoted their entire lives to being Republicans and endorsing a Democrat may be more than some are capable of.
