I find this woman confusing. I’ve tried to understand how, e.g., Republican senators who are retiring and spoke out against Trump before he was elected, end up going along on e.g. the impeachment vote. My best guess is that they don’t want to incur unpleasant conversations with their social groups in retirement. (Not much of an ethos.) But I might have thought Susan Collins wouldn’t be so firmly ensconced in such a bubble. For sure she’s not avoiding the unpleasant confrontations, so why is it worth it to her?
