Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins has been playing a very long game of pretending to be a hold-out on the unspeakably awful tax cuts bill that does everything from trying to plant an unconstitutional anti-abortion time bomb in tax law to ripping health insurance away from 13 million people. First, she said she had to have a promise that there would be a vote on the bipartisan plan to stabilize the Affordable Care Act. She got that agreement and pretended like it was a guarantee. She pretended like it would 1.) pass the Senate with Democratic votes (it won't) and 2.) offset the effects of repealing the individual mandate (it won't).
Now she's pretending like she had another demand: that the $25 billion Medicare cut triggered by passing this bill won't happen. And she's also pretending that she believes Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's promise that that he won't let that happen.....
