Murkowski knows that Trump is not to be trusted. And even if he was on the level, it was an unconscionable vote for someone like Murkowski who knows better.

IMO, Murkowski is trying to save face with Alaska voters. She knew what she was doing when she voted for that Billionaire Bill. She knew what she was doing when she voted for the cuts to PBS and NPR. And NOW she wants to say Trump deceived her. I hope Alaskan voters remember.

She voted against the PBS and NPR cuts and was a vocal critic of rescission. Dan Sullivan and Nick Begich voted in favor.

Well put. Scorn and acid are being heaped on LM. But time for real politic. The Right used Manchin and Sinema. Dem colleagues who have LM's ear must now help her self-salvage and go dow with dignity. MURKOWSKY CAN SWITH PARTIES. Join as a Senate Democrat or independent--Kick Trump I the Teeth.

Murkowski is at a politically existential crossroad. I would hope some trusted and wise colleagues could talk her into salvaging her political fate by leaving the GOP and going Independent if not Democrat. She has had to compromise her values being shackled to a party that is now full-abusive.

She's a disappointment. Another Collins. She wants to keep her seat, the value of which shrinks daily as T grabs more power. She was right to fear retribution from Trump & co, but she needed to do her job, regardless. Wonder if the R defectors got permission as the Rs had the votes to pass?
