Susan Rice should run. (click here) This is the way Grassley sees his role in the Republican Party. He disregards governance and the people and counts on big money donors to win an election. The Republicans are buying the country and we end up with 40% of the people of the USA deciding the future for all of us. That is not what the USA was founded on. It was founded on the principle the majority of the people will be served by good governance.
The Robert's Court with the majority opinion in Citizen's United written by the retired Associate Justice Kennedy facilitated the sale of the USA. That is the kind of court it is. It is a Republican court that will time and again apply their particular politics to the USA Constitution.
I don't know of a more clear example of the USA being bought by Dark Money. Grassley is very confident he can raise $3 million to save Collins Senate Seat. First, they pass a Republican operative justice into the Supreme Court and then when it is done, Grassley will simply find more money to ensure Collins seat. There it is.
Susan Rice should run in 2020 against Collins. If she started now and got the grassroots with her, Susan could win.

Collins was a key swing vote in the battle to confirm Kavanaugh and her 45-minute speech on the Senate floor announcing her "aye" vote last week virtually ensured his ascension to the high court. Since then, former National Security Adviser Susan Rice has floated running against Collins and a crowdfunding campaign started by Maine progressive groups to fund the Republican's future opponent has raised more than $3.3 million. The groups -- Be A Hero Team, Maine People's Alliance and Mainers for Accountable Leadership -- said Collins' re-election campaign would have received the money if she'd voted against Kavanaugh's confirmation....
