She is willing to work with democrats.  I'm not sure when that became a bad thing.

Mike Lee is willing to work with democrats. He just maintains his conservative principles when he does it. Collins just has no conservatice principles..... she is a progressive which is why I have no use for her.

Doesn't seem Lee ever works with Democrats.

He get's a 100% rating and never voted liberal for anything.  That's not just "not going socialist".

If you want to discuss Mike Lee's voting record then please make a new thread.

I only bring it up as he was brought into the discussion to explain what a conservative who works with democrats should be like versus Collins.

He doesn't seem like a good example of a conservative that works with democrats, given his voting record.

Mike Lee follows the constitution. If democrats are within The confine of the constitution he works with them.

So works with democrats when they are doing what he would do anyway?

Doesn't sound like reaching any compromises.
