This GOP Senator Is Sticking Up for Cheney and Murkowski
Townhall.com ^ | 3/7/21 | Bronson Stocking

Posted on 03/08/2021 2:46:29 AM PST by cotton1706

"I want to always make sure we nominate somebody who can win in November," Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) told NBC's Chuck Todd during "Meet the Press" on Sunday. "Lisa Murkowski knows Alaska better than anybody, and she's an incredible fighter for American energy. She hasn't made an announcement if she's even going to run again. If she does, I'm going to support her."

Switching gears to Cheney, the senator argued that his fellow Wyomingite is a strong fighter when it comes to opposing the Biden administration. Cheney leads the House Republican Conference. Sen. Barrasso chairs the Senate Republican Conference.

"So, I support her," Barrasso continued. "I disagree with her completely on the issue of impeachment. She voted one way. I voted the other."

Wouldn't it be nice to have Republicans who were good on energy, good at standing up to the Biden administration, but who also didn't have the annoying habit of stabbing their fellow Republicans in the back? Surely there is someone in Wyoming and someone in Alaska who fits that bill.

Give the GOP the Presidency, House and Senate and miracles will happen.

We had that from 2016-2018.

Our sole purpose now should be to purge the RINOs, and this traitor that I've never heard of before needs to be added to the list.

2022 should see Murkowski, Cheney, and every other House member who voted for impeachment gone.

This lifetime GOP ticket voter (and his better half) won’t be voting GOP in 2022. And you can thank the likes of this useless senator for our non votes.

Stay in the GOP and vote the RINOs out in the primary.

“By failing to fight the Steal those Georgia senators sacrificed themselves.”

I’m just pointing out that by boycotting* the Georgia runoffs and thereby allowing the Democrats to win without even needing to cheat, there is no shortage of conservative IDIOTS.

*and some boycott, with Trump going to Georgia twice to tell Republicans to NOT boycott.

Incumbents are re-elected more than 95% of the time. Trying to reform the GOP is the wildest of long shots.

That was before Trump. All you would hear was "so-and-so is popular in his district and there's no one who could beat him in the primary."

I believe Trump is going to be actively recruiting true conservatives to primary entrenched RINOs, and after he endorses them he will actively be on the campaign trail stumping for them. No Trump voter is going to vote for a RINO traitor if Trump endorses their primary challenger.

Why doesn’t Sarah Palin challenge her....?

If Sarah announces now, then the lying press has more time to beat up on her and her delinquent kids, who are nothing compared to Hunter Biden, but what difference does that make to the liberal press?

The longer Palin stays out, the more time there is for Trump to take shots at Murkowski without the press covering for her by attacking Palin.

Absolutely. But also, there was the million cheat-by-mail-in ballots that Big Butt Stacey amassed, thanks to the secret deal with the traitor RINO SoS.

Given the degree of voter fraud in Georgia and other states, I’m not sure they didn’t win. I’m trying to understand how some folks (not you) can believe that Trump was robbed, but weeks later the senate vote was accurate.

So Senator John Barrasso just let it slip that to him “winning in November” means “colluding with Democrats”. Now he can make it official and change his party affiliation to Democrat.

Yep, the system is totally corrupt yet the Rs are trying to roll another scam by us for 2022. Either they fix what went wrong or they can forget about winning.

They more they do this, the higher the probability that Cheney and Murkowski are slam-dunked in the primary. The Controlled Opposition Party are stuck. They are bought and paid for, but they are unmasked, and its apparent people aren’t buying their mendacious lying mouths any more.

Yea, I don’t know either way in the runoffs, but we certainly made it easier for them to cheat (less votes to flip) by not showing up there.

Once people here are able to tell me how losing things like legal gun ownership and God knows what else, all because we were ‘mad’ at the GOP, makes this country a better place, I’ll shut up on this.

Barrasso is another Peking Mitch Suck up.
If McConnell stops short they would need a proctologist to remove Barrasso.

Georgia was one of those states that had 1000s of ballot drop boxes placed around the city but not many in areas where conservatives lived. Zuckerberg paid for the boxes. There were pics/vids of people dropping off a stack of 50 ballots.

Must have been dropping them off for their whole neighborhood /s

Yup, parroting McConnell too who said we need people that are electable. Translation; I'll spend millions to fight a true conservative candidate and get a help get another RINO in.

yes, many of which were, no doubt, pre-filled. I hate Ds, but they do play to win, unlike Rs. And while the Ds are now changing America the Rs are still bickering over who didn't show up to vote for these two complete stiffs. Deal me out of future elections until they secure my vote. That's a reasonable request.

Add another RINO to the list of those to be primaried and disposed of when the time comes.
