Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsSusan Collins is confused, concerned, and doesn't understand why trump
would endorse Paxton over Cornyn. She called Paxton "ethically challenged". Of course she also said it was the president's call.
Can anyone enlighten Sue about why trump would prefer the ethically challenged candidate?

(3,224 posts)if you don't understand that that human shit is the come-again Jesus Christ for 70,000,000 or so Americans, you don't understand that this is no longer a free and just society -- it's not even a society that is trying to advance to that higher ethical position any longer.
In short, Trump is the shit, but America (thanks to Trump) is the shithole.

It is not just accents, btw, but words, expressions, idiom, and syntax as well.

(18,111 posts)really have they keep voting her in? I didnt realize Maine was that Republican. But it does seem she might have hit a wall. I would doubt she can make it through another election. She is so feckless.

(25,530 posts)Maybe someone here can enlighten us. But it does seem that at least at some point she was middle of the road and somewhat of a check on far rightwing policies. That hasn't been true for a long time now though.
