What are the odds Collins whipped the room and only voted “no” after it was clear it wouldn’t change the outcome? Look how mavericky she is - a veritable John Glenn!

There are only 51 Republicans in the Senate, so to get 52 votes, 2 Democrats must have voted for this guy. Are they traitors to the Democrats ‘war on Trump’. Or maybe they are from coal country. Enquiring minds want to know.
That may very well be the case, but she’s a “complicated” character. There are these from On the Issues and Huff[post:

Then again, when Bush Jr. was in office, she did vote to have the EPA administrator position made into a cabinet (political) position.

GOP: Fox --> henhouse
That’s why I mentioned John Glenn. Talks like a moderate, votes the party line.

There were only 51. Then there was an election. Now there are 53.

Yep. Remember the Keating Five? I was a kid and living back east when that happened. JG was a hero to a lot of people (including me). I can’t recall exactly which tv news I was watching when KF popped up (Eyewitness News, maybe), but I very clearly recall the reaction from the two onscreen news anchors. They went silent, just stared into the camera, and looked as if someone had just run over their dogs.
PS: Later, Glenn used his senatorial influence to 1) get a ride on the Space Shuttle [shouldering off a qualified candidate], and 2) get the Lewis Research Center name changed the Glenn Research Center; for a short time I was talking with someone over at LRC and was told that the folks there were angry over the name change. John Glenn. Hero.

Well, I guess when there’s no more swampland in America you can just stop talking about draining it.
