One important thing to keep in mind is that far-leftists now ''despise'' Sen. Collins over several concurrences with the majority of [[Republicans]], largely being the vote to confirm Kavanaugh. In fact, most are willing to disregard Collins' entire Senate record of frequently voting along with Washington liberals and make their absurd attacks based only on several recent concurrences with the Trump agenda. For instance, [[Stephen King]] has been showing signs of derangement in 2020,<sup>[https://townhall.com/tipsheet/reaganmccarthy/2020/03/25/dscc-stephen-king-n2565717]</sup> though that was present since late 2018.<sup>[https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2018/10/07/stephen-king-caught-straight-up-lying-about-susan-collins-and-merrick-garland/]</sup>

Another point to add here is that, while the >$1 trillion relief package was being debated on the Senate floor in March 2020 because [[Democrats]] blocked the [[Republican]]-led provision, Sen. Collins was about to be yielded time to speak until [[Minority Leader]] [[Chuck Schumer]] objected in an attempt to block her from doing so. It appears now that Democrats who Collins has long concurred with numerous times are now willing to target her in their hyper-partisanship simply to try destroying the country so they can blame it on Trump (as they have tried doing for several years). [[AOC]] has also attacked Collins after the senator's rebuke against Democrat colleagues.<sup>[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/03/23/aoc-attacks-moderate-lady-susan-collins-blasting-democrats-blocking-economic-relief/]</sup>

Collins' most likely [[Democrat]] opponent for the general election, [[Sara Gideon]], is a far-left [[progressive]]. ([https://justfacts.votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/137334/sara-gideon voting record here]) The latter has pushed for limiting [[charter schools]], requiring [[Medicaid]] to cover [[abortion]] “services”, ''banning single-use plastic bags'', and even banning parental choice in regards to [[vaccination]]. And not to mention pushing for greater usage of a ranked-choice voting system, the very which lead to Democrat [[Jared Golden]] being in the [[U.S. House of Representatives]] rather than [[Bruce Poliquin]] being re-elected in 2018. Potential conflict of interest? Also, important to note, despite Gideon being backed by the Democrat [[establishment]],<sup>[https://www.dscc.org/news/dscc-endorses-sara-gideon-in-maine-senate-campaign/]</sup> her voting record and support from leftists makes the stronger case about her overall [[far-left]] progressivism. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]<sup>'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]'''''</sup> 18:54, 9 April 2020 (EDT)
