You publish many letters from your readers suggesting that Sen. Susan Collins should not support Donald Trump. Fine. I’m a dyed-in-the-wool Republican and I don’t want to vote for him.

The problem is that his opponent is less qualified than he is, given her dishonest background and lack of accomplishment. So what is a Republican senator to do? To not support Trump is to say OK to Hillary. That could be the first step to a one-party system after she loads the Supreme Court with liberal judges.

I would rather not support either one of these candidates but the future of the Supreme Court is forcing my decision. I’m sure Sen. Collins has the same problem.
