Palin hints at Senate run in Alaska if Lisa Murkowski opposes Trump's Supreme Court nominee
Washington Examiner ^ | | September 26, 2020 | Andrew Mark Miller

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hinted at a possible run for Lisa Murkowski's Senate seat if the senator doesn’t support President Trump’s replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court.

"We sure hope that you have it within you to do the right thing this time,” Palin said to Murkowski in a series of Instagram videos posted this week. “So, you should walk back. We'll forgive you. If you can't do that, remember my house? I can see a lot of things from my house. ... Lisa, I can see 2022 from my house."

"Lisa Murkowski, this is my house," Palin said, pointing to her Alaska residence in the background. "I'm willing to give it up for the greater good of this country ... if you can't find it within yourself to do the right thing this time and at least give a fair shake to the Supreme Court nominee that your president will be bringing before you.”

She’s had a LOT going on, in the last decade.

A VP run.

Raising a special needs baby, now child.

Family issues, including her own divorce.

I’ve kept Sarah, and her dear family, in my prayers, throughout.

I think she’s a force, for good, to be reckoned with.

And, I think she’s standing up, and, dusting herself off, after getting thrown off of that rough ride.

If she runs, you know the first person the media will want to find is her ex-husband.

They will want to use her kids against her, too.

Just like they used Trump's niece, they will turn family against her.

Lots of Soros money out there for backstabbing traitors right now - very tempting to make up stories, and the media will help.

I think she should do it regardless. She is perfect for it and will always be reliable in our cause.

Palin jumped shark. What she hints at is a unlikely comeback. I have no idea WTF Alaska sees in that worthless bint Murkowski.

Nonsense. Bristol Palin is 30 years old and nobody cares about her daughter’s relationships now.

Don’t count her out. She’s now divorced and most of the kids are on their own so she has much more freedom now to make another run at national politics. I for one hope she does, and I don’t give a damn about her “brand”; the fact is we can never have enough Patriotic, honest, uncorruptable, common sense conservative people in elected offices at every level of government. I say go for it Sarah regardless of what Murkowski does.

This won’t phase Murkowski. She already knows she can win with both conservatives and the party at large against her without even having her name on the ballot.

However...perhaps she may not want the inconvenience, and she may figure she’s already spent a big “independence” card by having voted against Kavanaugh already. Same with Romney having voted for conviction in the impeachment trial.

Stop with that crap. She had to do what was right for her family. One should never hold that against somebody. But I suspect you’re a typical Palin hater.

I did not know she and Todd got divorced. That’s too bad. They seemed like a strong couple.

Yes, and with a lot of help from the media. And it breaks my heart. I once saw Palin is the next Reagan. And in a fair world she would have been.

“.... WTF Alaska sees in that worthless bint Murkowski. .....”

I am told by Alaskan friends that Alaska has a large “I-Want-Free-Money” segment of their population. Murk delivers that bacon ! Alaskans as hardy independent pioneer stock is more image then reality.

They also say though they like Palin her time as come & gone !

I love Palin before, but she’s been helping the Democrats in the last and more than the Republicans. She got a Democrat governor Alexa.

Most so-called ‘small-government conservatives’ are like that, cut spending, but not my pet program.
