Mikel2 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) I'm assuming Susan Collins was had the quiet blessing of the party to vote NO since her vote was not needed and it might hurt her re-election prospects (as both parties do regularly). I wonder if she would have voted the same, had ACB's confirmation depended on her vote. Edited October 27, 2020 by Mikel2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If her reelection chances rely upon her voting against the interests of her party, her party needs to cut her loose. She could have cut the baby in half and abstained but, she deliberately voted against one of the most qualified jurists she's ever had the charge of sitting in judgement.

Mikel2 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I don't disagree. But is Susan Collins the closest to a conservative Maine will vote for? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Collins is fucked either way. She either loses votes from ME-1 for voting for or loses votes from ME-2 for voting against. It seems unlikely she gets elected with that dynamic. I am a little surprised she didn't try to at least abstain, but I suppose that just looks like a weak cop out that pleases no one.

And it is a bad year to lose a senate seat. She still is generally considered to have a better chance than Tillis, McSally, or Gardner, but I have a hard time believing she can survive the SCOTUS vote.

MiloMorai Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Forbes Estimates China Paid Trump At Least $5.4 Million Since He Took Office, Via Mysterious Trump Tower Lease https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2020/10/23/forbes-estimates-china-paid-trump-at-least-54-million-since-he-took-office-via-mysterious-trump-tower-lease/#d26ecbaed11e Donald Trump, who declared “I don’t make money from China” in Thursday night’s presidential debate, has in fact collected millions of dollars from government-owned entities in China since he took office. Forbes estimates that at least $5.4 million has flowed into the president’s business from a lease agreement involving a state-owned bank in Trump Tower. Trump has other financial connections to China. The New York Times revealed Tuesday that the U.S. president has a bank account in China. His daughter, Ivanka Trump, received 41 Chinese trademarks from the time she was appointed a White House adviser in March 2017 to April 2019, according to an analysis of documents. The review also showed that the trademarks Ivanka applied for after her father’s inauguration got approved about 40% faster than those she sought out beforehand.

DB Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The last couple of sentences says rather more about the Chinese attitude to those with perceived influence than it does about possible influence exerted on her behalf. Is that unfair? Probably. Is that proof of a Trump abuse of office? Not really. Expediting her requests can be considered as a legitimate attempt by the Chinese to gain favour, but exactly how could Ivanka refuse the "gift"?

Stefan Fredriksson Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 As far as I can tell, all the links and arguments pro Trump will not change anyones mind of him in here. Has anyone of you considered putting the same effort into working in his campaign - in some form? Where it could possibly actually have some effect? Because realistically I doubt Tanknet is a good platform reaching out to undecided US voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Tan Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 No need to. Everyone is baked in. It's just a war of attrition while waiting for the screaming to the sky. Nobody is seeking to change minds, just to grind the other side into the dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
