Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) on Monday said it appears that President Donald Trump has given up on convincing her to support the Senate bill to repeal Obamacare. Collins is one of a handful of holdouts whose lack of support jeopardizes the proposal.
“I’ve had conversations with Vice President Pence, and Seema Verma, and Reince Priebus has called me a few times,” Collins told Reuters, referring to Vice President Mike Pence, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Seema Verma and Health and White House chief of staff Reince Priebus. “But the President understandably I think is focusing on others.”
Collins said she was not sure whether Trump has given up on gaining her support for whatever measure will come to the Senate floor on Tuesday.
“But it sounded that way from one of his press statements that I saw,” Collins said. “He said something like — ‘Susan Collins, she’s from Maine.’ As if that explained it.”
Well, of course he has, she’s just a dumb broad.
Between that and Farenthold, you’d almost think your party hates women, huh, Senator Collins?
So get a few of your GOP colleagues to join in with your “no” and you can stand proud, Senator Collins…
This is deliciously and appropriately derisive. Could just be my wishes overcoming my good sense, but it seems like the level of personal animosity here may make Collins a harder sell on the next idiotic bill of goods that is floated her way.
And Rand is a no, too ?
