[u/Senior-Hamster3961]

Collins's attitude is condescending and sarcastic. Continuing to call Jackson "Troy" while he calls her Senator Collins is not a good look. Jackson comes across as serious and honest. Collins comes off as evasive.

[u/seatoc]

Collins just sounds like a robot in this debate, gish galloping all over the place.

[u/OldSchoolRNS → u/seatoc]

Third debate in a row she’s proud of road salt.

Can't vote in Maine, so I'll wait to hear the after action report tomorrow.
