She will vote to remove Trump from office in the Senate when the time comes.
Once unthinkable, it is increasingly beginning to look as if President Trump may be in serious trouble once impeachment moves from the House of Pelosi to the U.S. Senate.
Despite that the upper chamber of Congress is under GOP control, there is a chance that a renegade block of anti-Trump Republicans will join with their Democrat co-conspirators and vote to put the finishing touches on the coup to remove him from office.
The dynamics shifted with the election of longtime Trump nemesis Mitt Romney who won the Senate from a state that he didn’t even live in and Mitt has been whipping up support for the overthrow of a legitimately elected president on bogus charges.
Romney will be joined by a number of senators who have voiced opposition toward the outsider who came to Washington to drain their swamp and one of them will be Maine’s Susan Collins.

Collins joined Romney by throwing in with the Biden crime family and ripped the POTUS for seeking foreign assistance to root out corruption within the rotten to the core U.S. political system.

Via The Bangor Daily News, “Susan Collins calls Trump’s invitation to China ‘completely inappropriate’”:
U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, joined two other GOP senators in criticizing the president this week after he publicly asked the Chinese government to investigate a political opponent while talking to reporters outside the White House this week.
The Maine senator was unequivocal in her statements, which came after a firefighters memorial service in Augusta on Saturday morning, joining Mitt Romney, R-Utah, and Ben Sasse, R-Nebraska, in breaking rank with GOP support for the president.
“I thought the president made a big mistake by asking China to get involved in investigating a political opponent,” Collins said. “It’s completely inappropriate.”
Sen. Collins’ statement is consistent with the condemnation of the leader of the free world as expressed by the whining bitterman who choked like a dog against Barack Obama in 2012 and has never gotten over it.
By all appearances, the President’s brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling.

Conservatives who cheered Collins after her courageous stand against the mob – which threatened her – during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings last fall that virtually assured that the respected judge would survive a vicious smear campaign to be seated on the nation’s highest court.
Her saving of Kavanaugh has made her into a hated figure with the rabidly fascist left and it’s celebrity leaders like D-list actress Alyssa Milano.
Susan Collins failed her Moment of Conscience when she refused to stand up for what’s right, and instead went along with Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell.

But Collins could do much to become a hero of the resistance if she joins up with Romney and his pack of traitors which already includes Lisa Murkowski, Richard Burr, Mike Lee, Ben Sasse, Rob Portman, Pat Toomey, and Marco Rubio.
The way that Collins approaches impeachment – she has already stated that she “will be acting as a juror as I did in the Clinton impeachment trial” once Trump’s fate is in her hands.
If Collins sees a chance to save her skin and Senate seat by joining the lynch mob, it could have a huge effect on such fence-sitters as Joni Ernst who is up for reelection in Iowa next November and has already distanced herself from Trump.
Another Republican senator is speaking out in defense of the intelligence community whistleblower.
"Whistleblowers should be protected," Sen. Joni Ernst told a constituent at a town hall. "I stand with Chuck Grassley on this. We have laws in place."https://t.co/3yydrYgFO6

Like Julius Caesar, Trump is surrounded by enemies in the Senate and they are all honing their daggers to do Mitt’s bidding. Will Susan Collins be the one who strikes the fatal blow?
