She’s still not saying whether she supports Donald Trump’s reelection out loud, but Maine Sen. Susan Collins is demonstrating to the Trumper base, in every way she can, that she’s with him all the way. As if not declaring her fealty to Trump will help her hang on to non-Republican votes, her game is embarrassingly transparent.
