If Murkowski’s don’t go the Republican brand is tarnished and should be tarnished in the eyes of all Americans.
She’s not going anywhere.
Here’s why:
She has already won before without the nomination and without even being on the ballot as a write-in candidate, without the support of her own party and certainly not the conservative base.
This time around, there is a jungle primary with the top 4 finishers getting on the ballot. As the incumbent Senator, she will almost certainly be on the ballot, and she could win with as little as 26% of the vote. As the incumbent Republican Senator she would also not lose her party’s backing as she would not be losing a primary.
