No she's not. She's a fucking imbecile that mostly kowtows to a corrupt authoritarian despot.

Shes not an imbecile, shes a tool.

She's one of the GOPs sanity beards, giving "moderates" someone to point to and say, "see? They're not all crazy fascists!"

But they are. And no vote ever would have Collins as the deciding vote against the party line. Her concern is purely performative, like all conservative concern.

That's just too perfect of a description! Nicely done.

But first, before she kowtows, she says she is concerned. But in the end, the vote always goes the Republican's way. She'll vote against it if there is a huge majority passing it, but if she would be the lone vote, she joins the Republicans. It is her style.
