Indeed! Murkowski s political would crash if she had voted ageibst this nominee ( whom murkowski herself indicates has passed all her vetting without a single reason arising to deny her the job)

My guess is that she has read the tea leaves from the early voting and realizes that Trump is going to be re-elected which makes her former position untenable...:-)

“Trump just told the Press Pool that “The early vote isn’t what the democrats expected it to be. They aren’t turning out. Numbers aren’t matching up.”

Lisa had already announced her run in 2022...

Cocaine Mitch must have called and mansplained life to her...

No RNC or Senate Moohlah for your race...

A guaranteed primary from Sarah Palin...

And all those earmarked goodies for Alaska will be going to Kentucky...

Susan Collins may have “permission” from leader McConnell to be a no vote for Barrett. Susan Collins was very instrumental in getting Kavanaugh through so she may be getting a little gift this time. Democrats are famous for doing this for people in a District that they might lose In an upcoming election

I hope Cocaine Mitch explainer calmly to Lisa that her career in the Senate would be DEAD if she voted against Barrett.

Susan Collins is an infuriating attention-seeking waste of skin.

I’m amazed that Pierre Delecto said he would vote to approve Barrett. But until he actually votes correctly, I don’t trust him.

Absolutely, McConnell gave her a pass like he frequently does when a vote could jepordize keeping a senate seat.

Had it been necessary for Barret’s confirmation Collins would have definitely stepped up and bit the bullet.

Collins votes with Trump 68% of the time. Better than zero if the leftist Gideon gets in.
