“Never fall for a politician; they will always let you down in the end.”

This is a bit of paraphrasing from Canadian political operative Warren Kinsella.

While neither a fan, nor an opponent, of Susan Collins, news that she had promised to serve two term and is in her fifth, is the let down we were promised.

A very enjoyable read, Jay.

"I assumed he was on the phone. But there were no buds in his ears."

I noticed people like that in the gym yesterday. I think there must be new technology that allows people to be talking on their phones with no visible accessories.

There were also people listening to music "out loud" or watching videos - including in the bathroom - as if they imagined they were in a cone of silence or didn't care.

Susan Collins is four years older than I am. This week I spent lots of time checking on my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and their various dogs.

Susan spent her time not reminding a reporter that her opponent was married to their second cousin.

I am less sympathetic to Susan Collins because politically she would have a much easier time challenging Trump in a state that never came close to voting for him, then all the other Rs in states which did vote for him, like Cheney. Indeed it would be to her advantage like her neighbor Governor Scott to push back and not just the occasional contrary voice, but to simply call crazy, crazy.
