Wow, does Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) not know when to stop digging or what?!? Under fire again for throwing women under the bus in her ongoing effort to say she's done something on health care, she is totally revising her embarrassing history of exacting meaningless promise after promise from Mitch McConnell over the tax bill and her Obamacare stabilization plan.
Collins, however, said she won many other victories in the tax legislation, such as averting an automatic cut to Medicare, and including deductions for state and local taxes and medical expenses.
"I was able to prevail on all of those and that was sufficient for me to vote for the bill," Collins told reporters on Thursday. "The idea that this was the one and only issue, and that there was some kind of deal, is not an accurate assessment of what happened." […]
Collins said she remained happy with McConnell, though, and that she was satisfied he had pushed for the ObamaCare measure in leadership negotiations.
Oh, okay, see there, Maine? She lied to you last fall when she said she was holding out her tax bill in order to save your health insurance. She was going to vote for the bill anyway! She just admitted that McConnell had her vote anyway. And she’s still going to be his dupe.
