Susan Collins's term is up in 2020. Time to start campaigning against her.

[pnwmom]

Who would be a good choice?

[Freethinker65]

1. She may not even run. She will be heavily compensated regardless

[standingtall]

2. I will be surprised if she even runs again.

She will probably see the writing on the wall.she is up for re-election in a swing state that usually leans blue during Presidential elections with a republican President. You can only re-position yourself as a moderate so many times and the mask is off now.

[jrthin]

6. So she is basically taking her cut and leaving.

[McCamy Taylor]

11. Many of them are

[guillaumeb]

3. Is she the one who loves to pose as a "moderate"?

Perhaps a second career as a lobbyist is in order? As payoff for her vote.

[nycbos]

7. Yes she is.

And a lobbyist career is very likely.

4. Mainers have bigger lobster to fry right now

Paul LeTrump is termed out. They should focus on getting him replaced by a good Democrat.

And take back ME-02 and the state senate.

[nycbos]

8. Yup yup absolutely.

To my understanding one seat in the Senate flips the chamber.

[crazycatlady]

10. It does

And with their term limits, the (tea party) class of 2010 is termed out.

[nycbos]

12. Would Shellie Pingree be a good choice in 2020?

I have heard good stuff about her.

[crazycatlady]

13. Not sure her popularity

(I'm not actually from Maine, I just come from 8 generations of Mainers and have interviewed with their state party before).

[Sneederbunk]

5. Better yet, find a good Democratic opponent.

[still_one]

9. She probably won't run, but regardless, as you said we should focus on finding a good Democratic

candidate to run for her seat, whether she runs or not
