Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) is Considering Leaving the GOP

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

"I just regret that our party is seemingly becoming a party of Donald Trump."

This is not something that hasn't been pointed out repeatedly. This is no longer the party of Reagan; it's a party that worships one man whose only convictions and values are whatever he believes. The Republicans cannot win on a MAGA coalition alone. More and more conservatives are heading out the door, but according to Trump he doesn't need those people anyway.

Good, all RINOs should leave. The GOP is becoming more MAGA by the day and representing the average American not elitist war mongering scumbags

No loss. But I can't get behind the "gop" either.

Clean it out, both sides

She has always been a RINO

A do-nothing legacy schmendrick, who would be schlepping coffee in Anchorage were it not for her name, is now some fucking oracle of politics?

GTFO, you intellectual fraud, and take the rest of the over-the-hill fossils with you.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Another one bites the dust!

They see the writing on the wall. The MAGA Party is going to get shellacked.

Murkowski is an elitist, much like our Democrats. She doesn't give two shits about the American worker. She cares about the robber baron class, which she is a part of. MAGA.

You can't really say that the likes of Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and Marco Rubio are MAGA types....Point is that the days of the sniffing, sellout, country club squish "republican" are coming to and end, and it can't happen soon enough.

This is the endless buffer zone in the party. The rules in Alaska giver the senate every time. When you Progs see this, you should understand it. There seems to be a globalist realignment occurring slowly. Kerry did say it does not matter if Trump wins at Davos earlier this year.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Maga types seem to be bearing up after this news. They dont seem to be interested in building a coalition.

She doesn't even care that much...She's all about herself, that's it.

She's sorta like Elizabeth Warren... everything about her

 

[Oddball]

....but according to Trump he doesn't need those people anyway.

Clue: NONE of us ever needed them.....Their eternal conceit is the attitude that we do.

 

[jwoodie]

one man whose only convictions and values are whatever he believes.

And this is a bad thing?

They should just rename it the Rump party - which it is, in more ways than one.

Just as it was the party of Bush? Or the Dems were the party of Clinton?

One only leaves if they don't believe they can win a re-election, or, there is a better paying gig at a news network or running a political "Foundation".

 

[MarcATL]

OP, I told you this DURING Trump's reign, you denied it and have more recently been ignoring me whenever I bring this up to you.

Why are you so adverse to truth and facts?

 

[jwoodie]

Murkowski only won in 2022 because of a three-way election with ranked-choice voting. (Democrats picked her as their second choice.) She knows her future as a US Senator is done, just like Joe Manchin.

 

[Donald H]

She has always been a RINO

Regardless what she was, she's been popular enough to hold the job and even with her being opposed to Palin.

Palin and her ilk have no support in Alaska now.

She already got re-elected last time around...Another poster child for the fuckery that is prank choice voting.
