Yeah, she's not up for election until 2026 and has already spoken out repeatedly against Trump.

If she from her perch of as close to complete safety (as close a lawmaker can get) can't speak out and say "no" to having Trump again, what hope is there that the rest of their party would stand up and say "no"?

Sure, that might change if Trump gets deep into personal legal problems.

But this question to Collins came in the context of Trump having admitted in writing that he lost the 2020 election and was depending on Pence to overturn it...and that Trump publicly announced he was going to pardon the foot soldiers who helped him try to overthrow the government.

If you can't stand up in that context to say "no", when could you?
