That would be a grievous error in judgment, Mr. Demint. You may want to rethink this one. She is not your friend. She is not a friend of conservatism. She will betray you, and conservatism.
Of course she will - she has nothing to lose. She now knows she can win her seat without conservatives or the Republican Party altogether. Before she at least threw conservatives some table scraps from time to time...now I bet she will be like the ladies from Maine.
“DeMint told POLITICO. “If she wins, which it appears she will, I’m going to congratulate her and welcome her back.

—I’m guessing he’s just trying to be polite under the circumstances (which of course is never requested of non-Conservatives). It’s one thing to say “welcome back”, and another thing to actually mean it.
I think in the end, DeMint should play his trump card: Murkowski and Castle were primaried because they didn’t want to repeal the massive 1/6 of-the-economy monstrosity, Obamacare. DeMint was merely standing up for what the public overlwhelmingly was demanding. He thus represented the people, and the Establishment represented the narrow interests of its own clique...
So, it’s the Establishment’s duty now to get on board and support DeMint...
