You are pretending the political establishment politicians on both the right and the left uniting against someone isn’t the best candidate regardless.

I think he's better than Collins. I don't think he's a good candidate in the field of all possible candidates that could (but aren't) run.

Furthermore being universally opposed doesn't make one right, best, or good.

This guy absolutely doesn't remember the 2016 republican primary where the GOP establishment was in universal opposition to Trump but couldn't convince enough of the lifetime careerists running against him to exit the clown car.
