McCain Was No Maverick
Squintly: If anyone in the gopper side of the senate is a "maverick," it's Susan Collins.
"From 1987 to 2015, McCain voted with the Republican Party 87 percent of the time . . . So McCain’s body of work in the Senate doesn’t look very maverick-y, even if he has been slightly less likely to vote with his party than the median senator. A real maverick probably looks more like Maine Sen. Susan Collins, who has voted with her party a little less than 60 percent of the time . . . since she joined the Senate in 1997."
