Well, good for her, but I am less than impressed. She wrote:
"Some will say that as a Republican I have an obligation to support my party’s nominee. I have thought long and hard about that, for being a Republican is part of what defines me as a person. I revere the history of my party, most particularly the value it has always placed on the worth and dignity of the individual, and I will continue to work across the country for Republican candidates. It is because of Mr. Trump’s inability and unwillingness to honor that legacy that I am unable to support his candidacy."
I don't think Collins is really embracing reality here. Trump is not an aberration, Trump is the inevitable consequence of a political party that consciously embraced racism and nativism that began with Nixon's
Southern Strategy.
The country needs two strong, moderate, centrist parties. In now only has one.
