Its a game, they all play.
Everybody wants to bag on Collins for her liberal votes.
It is the price of being a Republican in a liberal state.
Her votes are mostly controlled by the Republicans.
Right and left leaning.
If she stayed right, a Democrat would take her place. It's better to
let her vote to placate the constituents when necessary.
Vote gonna be a big majority either way, she votes Lib if it helps.
The rest are strategic decisions made balancing the R agenda with the
need for her to win the next election.
The whole thing about sausage, in play.
Anyone who thinks Senators and Reps decide on their vote is
sadly mistaken, and need to learn about the Whips and what they do.
