Senate Buys Lisa Murkowski's Vote

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘In order to win Murkowski’s support, Republicans had added several provisions that would sweeten the deal for her state. But at the very last second, the Senate parliamentarian struck a carve-out that would’ve expanded federal funding for Medicaid in Alaska.

All 47 Democrats voted against the bill, and they were joined by Senators Rand Paul, Thom Tillis, and Susan Collins. Had Murkowski also voted “no,” the bill would have been defeated.

Murkowski told reporters that she hoped the House would send the bill back to the Senate so they could continue working on it. “My hope is that the House is gonna look at this and recognize that we’re not there yet,” Murkowski said, revealing just how misguided her support actually was.’

Voting for Trump was supposed to be the end of ‘business as usual politics,’ an end to career politicians making backroom deals, buying their votes in order to pass bad legislation.

Not surprising....She's as cheap as the come.

The only way she stays in office is through ranked choice voting and AK dems voting for her.

AK and HI should have never been made states, both are weird.

Ranked choice voting is the devil.

And you voted against ending backdoor deals…so what’s your problem with the senate doing it?

Voting no would of been giving the demafasict their tax increase

She did the right thing by ensuring their tax hike was killed

Vote no and she could have continued to work on it like she pretended to want to do. Voting no wouldn't have gave anyone anything. It would have meant they continued to work on it.

As is, it gave the country trillions more in debt.

A complete failure.

Dead beat.

Yes, placing an even larger debt burden on future generations makes you a dead beat.

Yes, placing an even larger debt burden on future generations makes you a dead beat.

How much have you donated to the federal govt this year?

And I’m the one saying cut Medicaid, Medicare, cut SS.

Not you

These are the largest drivers of debt

You are saying that you want increased costs but are unwilling to pay for it. There are Medicaid cuts but the debt still increased.

Dead beats. Wanting everything from the government but not wanting to pay for it.

She lost to a Tea Party candidate in a primary and then ran in the general election and got a lot of Democratic votes to win. Traitors. Many know it and keep allowing it. Look at the stresses trying to get this legislation passed.

She voted for the bill and you are still upset?

She held out for some goodies. Too many politicians hold out.

How is cutting medicare and medicaid increasing cost?

additionally, not raising taxes, doesn't increase revenue. It kills economic development, growth, and destroys tax revenue.

You are a deadbeat for wanting others to pay more, while you are not.

Just like Trump.
