Former President Trump on Tuesday endorsed Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s (R) reelection bid, but only on the condition that Dunleavy doesn’t back Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) in 2022.

“Alaska needs Mike Dunleavy as Governor now more than ever,” Trump said in a statement. “He has my Complete and Total Endorsement but, this endorsement is subject to his non-endorsement of Senator Lisa Murkowski who has been very bad for Alaska.”

Murkowski might as well switch parties since she votes like a democRAT.

From the NY Post...

Dunleavy, who has aligned himself closely with Trump since taking office in 2018, is attempting to become the first Republican Alaska governor to win reelection since 1978.

She runs as an independent and depends on votes from Democrats and RINOs who, put together, apparently outnumber conservatives in Alaska.

Murkoswki needs to go, but why is she being replaced by Murkowski Jr.? In six years, it’ll be the same thibg. Tshibaka is basically a Democrat. There isn’t a single conservative to run for Senate? Or even a moderate?

She is physically repulsive, so she would fit in well with the senior rat females.

“Murkowski might as well switch parties since she votes like a democRAT.”

Not quite (or BBB would be law by now), but she does need to be removed in her Primary. Alaska could do MUCH BETTER.

Yea, that sucked. But it shows how crappy our ground game is there.

...I do think it’s different this time, in that our people pay attention to Trump. Back then, we didn’t have anyone close to him who could directly talk to our voters...so they were left at the mercy of The Establishment.
