Trump-backed Senate challenger Tshibaka says Murkowski has finally 'come clean' on 2022 intentions
Fox News ^ | 20 Nov 21

Posted on 11/20/2021 6:00:26 AM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

EXCLUSIVE: Republican Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka says she was well prepared for Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska’s reelection announcement last week.

Tshibaka, who enjoys the backing and support of former President Trump as she challenges Murkowski, told Fox News in an exclusive interview that the longtime senator’s "been campaigning for months. She just hasn’t been honest about it. It’s nice that she’s finally calling it what it is and she’s come clean in saying she’s actually running for the Senate."

The former Alaska commissioner of administration emphasized that "we’ve anticipated that Murkowski was going to run because she’s absolutely committed to maintaining the Murkowski political dynasty. I don’t think it changes anything for our race or how Alaskans feel."

That dynasty that Tshibaka spotlighted started with longtime Sen. Frank Murkowski, who after two decades in the Senate, won election in 2002 as Alaska governor. The elder Murkowski – in a controversial move at the time – appointed his daughter Lisa, who was serving as the Alaska House of Representatives majority leader, to fill the final two years of his Senate term.

Tshibaka emphasized that "Alaskans are ready for a change."

Mitch and his bitches are backing Murkowsky.

ALL of Mitch’s bitches need to go.

Complete list of the GOP Senators up in 2022:

Roy Blunt (Missouri) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
John Boozman (Arkansas)
Richard Burr (North Carolina) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Mike Crapo (Idaho)
Chuck Grassley (Iowa)
John Hoeven (North Dakota)
Ron Johnson (Wisconsin)
John Kennedy (Louisiana)
James Lankford (Oklahoma)
Mike Lee (Utah)
Jerry Moran (Kansas)
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
Rand Paul (Kentucky)
Rob Portman (Ohio) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Marco Rubio (Florida)
Tim Scott (South Carolina)
Richard Shelby (Alabama) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
John Thune (South Dakota)
Patrick Toomey (Pennsylvania) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Todd Young (Indiana)

Toomey, Burr, Blunt, Portman and Shelby are leaving, which helps, but there are a lot of them to primary.

Rubio and Hoeven are Amnesty Senators. They voted for a permanent Democrat majority, can’t be a better Assistant Democrat than that.

The only ones worthy of re-election are Johnson, Paul and Kennedy.

I counted 20 R senators. Does that mean the Ds are defending 13?

I would be surprised if Murkowsky survives the primary. That guilty vote against Trump won’t be forgotten.

No primary in Alaska anymore, they switched to ranked choice voting.

Alaska has both RCV-enabled voting machines and RCV.

Until Alaska takes care of those two issues, Murky ain’t going anywhere unless Deep State wants her gone.

I just read the Alaska rank choice voting law, and I'm not sure what the hell it means {maybe that's the point}.

Has Murkowski and Mick Jagger ever been seen in the same place at the same time?

She never ran as an independent. She ran as a Republican write-in candidate.

This time around there is no party primary at all. Top 4 finishers go on to the general election, and then there is ranked-choice balloting...so she could be a second or third choice and still win even if collectively the overwhelming majority of voters vote against her.

RCV or Ranked Choice voting is Unconstitutional.

But the law suits need to be filed and pursued vigorously in Alaska.

“Maine’s highest court rules ranked-choice voting is unconstitutional”
