How Susan Collins' PPP Bill Helped Bail Out Big Businesses

Senator Susan Collins is fighting for her political life with a new television ad that says "in a time of crisis, real leaders step forward. Others disappear."

The ad touts that the Maine Republican co-wrote the Paycheck Protection Program that's provided $2.5 billion in forgivable loans to more than 26,000 small businesses in the state. It doesn't mention that she also allowed special interests and big donors to access the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP.

This is the kind of thing you turn into a cudgel and just beat incumbents over and over again with. Maine misses an entire spring/summer of tourism and then votes.

I think she was done for the minute she didn't Romney her way through the impeachment trial, FWIW. You pander to moderates and trust Republicans to fall in line even if they don't like you.

You mean Susan Collins is an irredeemable piece of shit that frequently feigns concern?

Shocked I am.

Positively shocked.

She's toast in November regardless. Very strange for her to push for that in the relief package tho... Like... None of her voters, conservative or conservative leaning independents would be on board with special interest getting access to pop... And it's not like Maine is a state packed with unique powerful special interests
