Susan Collins is not our favorite person, but it's hard to imagine her on the receiving end of one of Benedict Donald's "profanity-laced rants."
That's how The Hill described a call that Trump made to Collins after she joined four Republican Senate colleagues to support Senator Tim Kaine's war powers resolution on Venezuela. But more important, Donald's just put the Maine Senate race into a tizzy. The five Republicans, he said, "should never be elected to office again."
Um. Collins is up this year, and like nearly every Republican in 2026, it seems, she's vulnerable. GOP members of the Senate went nuts. "You’re s—g on her on this sort of stuff?" one told a reporter (anonymously, of course). "It’s almost reminiscent of 'Don’t come to vote for the Georgia Senators. It’s not worth your while.'" Oh, faceless, nameless and gutless Republican Senator, thank you for taking us back to the day the Peach State elected Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. It makes us grin.
She won't show it, but Susan Collins is probably mad. And if she really wants to get back at Trump, we have a suggestion: Go all the way up to the March filing deadline, and then at 4 PM that day, announce she's retiring. She'd strand the Republicans with no candidate. It won't happen, but it's fun to think about. We cats PURR.
