Susan Collins on Saturday became the latest Republican senator to criticize President Donald Trump for calling on foreign countries to investigate a political rival, saying he made a "big mistake."
“I thought the president made a big mistake by asking China to get involved in investigating a political opponent,” Collins said at a press gaggle in her home state of Maine, according to the Bangor Daily News . “It’s completely inappropriate.”
Collins is the third Republican senator to voice criticism of Trump for the ongoing Ukraine scandal at the heart of the House's impeachment proceedings, joining Mitt Romney and Ben Sasse.

Trump should be attacking her tomorrow at the latest.
Since he started his political career he's launched nasty personal attacks on sooo many of his supporters.
Someday this is going to come back to haunt him.
And he's not only attacked Republicans-- but also a lot of world leaders.
(Some of these Republicans may do not-- but I bet here's really pissed off a lot of them...)
rump should be attacking her tomorrow at the latest.
Probably so many nasty Teets in the early morning that it will cause Twitter to crash!
Trump has a manchina! Trump has a manchina! (My apologies to Step Brothers)
Collins and her, "Big mistake" utterance. But of course. The Stepford Senator is still in 'lock step' with the ( Stormy Who ) crowd to her fortune or misfortune.
Does not matter. For the first time in a couple of decades Stepford Senator Susan Collins is facing a well known and well financed challenger in 2020. This could be interesting. Not counting her out, but I sure as heck can not count her in either.
