“If Collins lost her seat it would likely be filled by a Democrat, but Murkowski is a different matter. She should be primaried.”
Murkowski was primaried! Then The GOPe leadership supported her as a write-in candidate against the rightful Tea Party leaning nominee. All the GOPe gotta go!!!
Murkowski made additional enemies with her latest moves. A primary challenge has a better chance. She won’t be popular enough to win as an independent.
