I think we know what's up with Murkowski. DiFiChiSpy surely does.

[Opponent was an absolute loser.]


After looking at Miller’s Wiki, I understand why. He ran, essentially, on a libertarian platform. He opposed unemployment bennies. I understand orthodox libertarians oppose all forms of government welfare, but this is a major league vote loser. Not even Ron Paul opposes unemployment bennies.

Don Young has been there forever and is one of the biggest porkers in the House, but he’d be better than Moo Cow Ski. That is, unless a certain Ms. Palin wants to run.

My husband lived in Alaska a couple of years; they have a bit of contempt for “downsiders” who come up to live there, especially Californians. Of course, except for natives, everyone there were once downsiders, themselves.

Whoever runs against Murkowski in the Primary, Trump should go and campaign for them, make sure everyone knows what a dirtbag she is. She should also get kicked off of any committee she is on. Set an example for what happens to people who betray the POTUS.

Joe Miller almost won that seat and Murkowski started a write in campaign right before the election and guess what she won the seat.

well lisa, that may be your opinion, but it has zero basis in the constitution

trump is president

there is a vacancy

trump as long as he is president represents the people

the vacancy needs to be filled and there is zero reason not to

We knew we couldn’t count on you from the beginning; literally not even a question. Furthermore, we heard you, Bitch. Now go off and die somewhere, and maybe lick Nadler’s nuts or something. Maybe she’ll put out a third press notice to make it clear that she won’t represent her constituents, no matter what. C U Next Tuesday!

How long do people have to live in Alaska to not be considered “downsiders” ?

Since she said this is where she stood ‘weeks ago’ that would beg the question if she knows the Demorat plans....

I’m of the mind Lisa Murkowski’s just stupid or she’s on someones leash. Likely both.

________________________________________

I think Senator M is worried about her legacy...She wants to be remembered as someone who was not too partisan...She wants to be praised for “playing fair”...

Some Republicans, like Romney and Murkowski, sometimes seem to be obsessed with “playing fair”...I find “playing fair” business just frustrating...

Democrats don’t care about “playing fair”...I will be very surprised if Senator Murkowski does not realize that yet...Maybe she knows that already...

In 2016, Democrats did not care about “playing fair” after Justice Scalia died...Did Mr. Obama refuse to nominate the replacement because he thought that new president should choose? That’s not what happened...Mr. Obama nominated somebody...He was not happy that his choice was not confirmed...Senator Schumer never told Mr. Obama not to nominate the replacement...

I am sure that Senator Murkowski will be praised by liberal media for “playing fair”...I am disappointed with the Senator...I wish that the people of Alaska would call her office and complain...

That’s what I’ve been saying, too. The People HAVE spoken. What a stupid stance.

Surely Alaska Republicans can come up with a credible candidate to replace Murkowski.

They primaried her last time and what did she do? She ran 3rd party and the dems crossed over and voted for her b/c the primary winner was Tea Party. She's a weasel.

There’s nothing wrong with her logic although I don’t know if the people of Alaska would appreciate not being represented by her in a vote on a SCOTUS nominee. If the majority leader is moving forward on a nomination she has an obligation to vote one way or the other.

Real Americans are beyond fed up with Senator Skeletor (RINO-AK). When will Alaskans boot the *itch?

I sent her a long polite email on the subject. I doubt it will get read. But I pointed out that since she wants to protect the rights of the American voters, maybe she ought to consider the rights of the voters that elected a Republican President and Senate for just this circumstance.
