    1. CORRECT!!
      When she states
      ” maybe he has learned a lesson”;
      is something you say about a
      CHILD!!
      So we don’t put CHILDREN in the WHITEHOUSE as our President!!
      Proves Trump’s Childish; mind NEGATES him from office as being UNFIT FOR OFFICE!!
      There ya GO 👋 Sen. Collins; straight from your own mouth!!

    2. @Deanna Delmar Sadly yes. From before the 2016 election trump has manipulated the rules and has gotten away without being punished. A child without enforced rules continues to break those rules until he finds the limit. If no limit is enforced then the child learns he has no boundaries and he is free to do what he wants, when he wants, how he wants no matter who it effects. He learns no restrictions, empathy, value, or love.

    3. @Keoki Ciervo You should ask them but I will give you my answer to your first question…. Nancy Pelosi has said many times why 1) She wanted to make sure of the evidence before she began the impeachment 2) after he was impeached she held on the articles until after the holidays and after the State of the Union so he couldn’t be bragging of acquittal. Even though he did make a mockery of it. As to your second question, I believe it is because the DOJ is headed by a corrupt puppet of trump. The rest of the DOJ has signed a petition to have Barr resign. If Barr is replaced with a law abiding person then there might be hope to clear out the corrupt however, that person will have to stand up to a lot of evil. All this won’t matter if trump continues thinking he is King and can do whatever he wants, when he wants, how he wants. VOTE 2020 VOTE

    1. If you’re a democrat I would stay off the topic of backbones! A bunch of fey sissy men and wildebeests in white make up 90% of dems.

      Even the Australian news (channel 9 Melbourne) makes fun of you people and Australia is pretty liberal.

    2. @Jim Elliott I have some Aussie friends and they make fun of Orange Mussolini every day and also the poor misguided cult followers who mesmerized by him

    1. @B.J Cameron 
      Your taxes will probably go back up once the Democrats see what trump has done to the deficit, and then they’ll be blamed for it.
      Happens every time.

    2. @Gary Halliday ….you obviously have not looked at the Budget for next year. The President will pay off 4 Trillion from the Deficit. He has used money to rebuild the US Military, which was depleted through Obama/Clinton/Bush.

    3. @B.J Cameron
      We shall see, when he’s out and the dems get a look at the books.
      I see you’re already blaming democrats (and bush).

      I haven’t seen the budget, but you believe trump when it comes to money?

    4. @B.J Cameron I’m a blue collar worker and the #Impotus f*cked me on taxes. Several thousands f*cked. The only way one may get tax relief is if they don’t own a home and have a litter of kids. I worked my whole life responsibly paying my taxes. I never had to scratch a check before to any republican or democratic govt come April. What measly raise I got got this year was wiped out and then some for me having to adjust my w-4 to compensate next April’s reaming.

  1. Moving forward, SOMEONE SHOULD BE OVER the SENATE Incase of shannigans like these.

    There MUST BE order, it is direly needed.

    🇺🇸🗽🕊✨🙏🏽

    1. Time to change the rules not in the constitution where one person can control our democracy. McConnel has abused his power. Every Senator should have the option of bringing legislation to a vote.

    2. The Senate needs to become a part of congress that has employees who get hired based on their experience and EXTENSIVE background checks. And none of them should get paid this year because they refused to do their jobs and instead dumped it into our laps knowing we had NO information to work with. They made sure of that when not securing witnesses and documents at impeachment. If they want us to decide, they should hand over all information that they DO have, give us the witnesses and documents we wanted, and then give us their paychecks this year. Losers.

    1. I lived in Kentucky for 13 years and I can tell you with all honesty, there’s ABSOLUTELY no way kentuckians will vote turtle man out of office. They can be poor, on food stamps, no teeth, no healthcare and hate his guts and still vote for Mitch McConnell. A certain mindset is baked in the cake there and McConnell represents that mindset. It’s important to understand there’s certain states that glorify ignorance and progress is severely rejected.

    2. @J That’s like saying getting the one of the various flu viruses that are always circulating is the same as getting the new corona virus. Do you mean to say something like that? Consider that by getting rid of both the Dems and Repubs, you could get something much worse than either.

    3. @Gnirol Namlerf So replace current corruption with your trusted corruption? Not following.. No corruption of good no matter if it’s red, blue, or purple. Try again..

    4. Oh Yeah. Right On. Yes. Yes. Yes. Our nation needs a Democratic House, Senate, and WH to get us back to being a democracy from where we are right now with old what’s his name who we currently have in the WH.

    5. Karsen Sour  ………………. Here are the Repuke Senators under water up for re-election: Moscow Mitch KY, Collins ME, Ernst IA, Gardner CO, McSmelly AZ, Tillis NC . Others vulnerable: Graham SC, Cornyn TX, Perdue GA . Retiring Repuke open seats in KS, GA, TN . In a Blue Wave, all 12 could flip .

    1. @James clark The only question for members of the Trump cult after the blue tsunami in November will be Koolaid or fire. Like Jones and Koresh’s cult members following Donald will be fatal.

    2. @The Blade
      THERE WILL BE NO “BLIE” WAVE .. YOUR PARTY IS SO DIVIDED YOU CANNOT EVEN DECIDE BETWEEN SOCIALISM AND CAPITALISM!!. YOU WILL BELEFT SCREAMING AT THE SKY ONCE AGAIN LEFTARD.

    3. @James clark Republikkklans, white supremacists, neo nazi’s, skinheads, kkk, Russians, Confederate flag waving traitors and fake Christians 2020 !!!

  2. I will never in life vote Republican again. I’ve seen enough. Hopefully the Dems take the senate and restore some integrity within the US government

  3. Maine Vote Blue! Collins voted to aquite hitler now hitler is pardoning his army. God help us. Do the right thing Maine

    1. Collins, and McSally, McConnell and Graham are all up for election and are in the 20-30% approval ranges nationwide, and not that well liked in their states either.

  4. Susan Collins’ justification for voting to acquit the Traitorous un-American Criminal in Chief is so ridiculously laughable and unConstitutional that it’s tragic. History won’t be kind to her and her legacy

    1. her & her 48 colleagues who refused to remove him. it should have been a unanimous sweeping coup. they are all cowards & traitors.

    2. crocusflower: democrats’ are committed to the destruction of our representative republic. Folks that throw around “… cowards & traitors …” have every right to do so. Our country is divided to the point it can not be reconciled. Every democrat seeking the presidency has made it clear they will attack our Bill Of Rights and deny us our right of choice regarding health care. Elect a democrat to the presidency is an invitation to totalitarian government. Regards: DRS / RVN Vet.

  5. This time I’m pretending to definitely think about considering maybe doing the right thing if, you know, more evidence or whatever and uh… drone-waffle-drone… maybe, for sure.
    .

  6. Vote Her Out !!! She has no courage. No dignity, no honor. Maine Will do better and so will the United States without her.

    1. @elaine norris she needs to learn a lesson first. she is so ignorant to think that Trump would learn a lesson. actually he did, he learned he could get away with anything

    2. 3rd seed   ……………..  Great ad ! “She’ll NEVER learn !” .That’s what I would pound . Do the same with the other Repuke  lapdogs  .

    1. gladys but in Maine you can vote however you’d like because we have a rank choice ballot, that means a third-party can actually run and win without causing a vote split. This video is very out of touch with our states politics.

  7. DON’T stop at 4!!! Dems or Independents MUST win not only the Senate, but also the Presidency and solidify the House of Representatives.

  8. Collins may (may) be a decent person.
    Collins lacks 2 vital aspects: 1) judgement of character, and 2) courage or 3) lacking BOTH.

  9. How can even one of those republican senators win after what we saw during the impeachment fake trials? Smarten up U.S..
