An ethically and legally dubious race in 2010. I believe it forbade “sore losers” from running. She was effectively supported and aided by the Demonrats and should’ve been thrown out of the GOP right there and then. Miller was the Libertarian nominee in 2016. That was going to be a tough road to hoe.

The NRA endorsed her in 2016 and she, at that time at least, had an A rating from them. I think Alaska is a unique contest and Alaskans are a unique population. It's the largest state in the US but fewer votes are cast across the entire state than in the medium sized city that I live in.

The Alaskan Republican party has made it clear that they mean for her to go. It's not my place to argue with them but I wouldn't kick her to the curb because she hurt Donald Trump's feelings, not after he betrayed us on Concealed Carry Reciprocity, the Hearing Protection Act, Bump Stocks. After that, I'll side with Murkowski over Trump but I wouldn't go against the Alaska State Republican party. I have to assume that they're doing what they know to be best.

Gotta go to work, I'm out.

The biggest mistake there was not moving aggressively to declare write-in votes for her in the general election would be spoiled ballots and she was not eligible to run again until the next election cycle. States have "sore loser" laws to prevent LOSERS who were DEFEATED in the primary from attempting a "do-over" in the general election for a reason. Just like baseball teams who lost the regular season can't show up in the playoffs and demand to participate in the world series against the team who defeated them. Game 3 of the World Series, Seattle Mariners make a surprise appearance and defeat the New York Yankees! Yea.... NO.
