"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.

You ain't alone FRiend. They moved themselves to the endangered species list. The gopee can't die off soon enough to suit me.
Completely agree.
Bush League Republicans aspire to nothing more than being Assistant Democrats.
That is all they are and will ever be.
It was more like 40 that left to give Pelosi the majority.
Chaney gave her voters in Wyoming the finger
Murkowski has had weak challengers and has not represented the wishes of Alaskan voters either .
We don’t need RINOs, we need representatives with real backbone.
Wyoming has only one representative. So Cheney and Barasso have the same constituency.
So therefore if Cheney can be defeated, Barasso knows he’s cooked.
But if she’s made to be safe, then he’s safe too.
So there’s also self-interest involved.
Being a “fighter” is not an irreplaceable characteristic. I’m sure there are numerous better-thinking replacements for both who can and will fight just as hard and be much wiser in fighting the right fights.
We can’t even manage to get a real conservative in Wyoming.

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.

Had considered doing the same. However, why would I want to let a Democrat pass because I, and many others, foolishly in my opinion, just for spite didn’t vote GOP. I’m no longer getting all hyped and involved for elections any longer given my age, but I will vote for who ever is running against a Democrat.
Not useless!
The GOP is ESSENTIAL. I’m not being facetious.
Without a loyal and Controlled Opposition, the illusion of a democratic republic dissolves, and the corporate fascism we actually live under becomes apparent.
This is why they literally want to kill Donald J. Trump.
