Reposted by BGICCollins Watch @collinswatch.bsky.social · 24/02/2026If you wonder why blue state rep Susan Collins would stand beside Trump in the oval holding a MAGA hat...this tells you why: Only 58% of *GOP* primary voters view her favorably. So she sucks up harder and harder to try to consolidate the base. But they're just not into you, Susan! #MEpolitics 3134

BGIC @bangorgreens207.bsky.social · 02/12/2025We DO know why this is happening.
