And it begins: Murkowski to be primaried by Trumpster

[HenryBHough]

Want senators who will fight for democracy?

Elect Cuban refugees.

Disqualify the indoctrinated.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

We knew this was coming, and now Murkowski has to worry. She's just the first -- no doubt we'll be seeing a lot more of this, as Trump will be picking the winners and losers in the GOP primaries.

So the questions going forward will be:

1. How many Trump acolytes will be "primarying" GOP holdovers
2. How many of them will win the party nomination
3. How they'll do in their general elections

Any predictions?

I don't know. What do you think is going to happen?

I don't know who Kelly Tabasco (or whatever) is. Do you? Who is she? How is she on the issues? If she is solid on the issues, who cares if she is a "Trumpster" right?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Alls I can say to Kelly? Good luck with that. Murkowski beat a teabagger as a WRITE IN.
AK loves her because she has something Rump and his candidate never will ...
Honesty and Integrity

Alaska does not love her. Her approval rating across the board is in the toilet

The independents in that chart show a really bad trend for Murkowski. That's likely to be a "dead horse" vote.

i.e. they'll vote for a dead horse as long as it's against Murkowski.

Its the American way to challenge politicians

You act as if being in the senate is a lifetime appointment

Murkowski could become a power broker if she threatens to leave the GOP.

How would she broker anything if she's out of office. The GOP will be happy to see her go.

i.e. they'll vote for a dead horse as long as it's against Murkowski.

She was an unpopular republican 6 years ago and could not secure the repub nomination

So she ran 3rd party and lib democrats and swamp rat repubs put her on office

So the party base has always dislike murkosky even before trump came along
