She’s not up for over 3 years, people have short memories unless she bucks another vote in the next year or 2.

She’s not even up for re-election until 2022, it’s too far off for me to even be that concerned about right now.
To: OddLane
McConnell and the Bush League Republicans saved her last time she lost a primary to keep her as an Amnesty Senator.

Bring in Sarah Palin, or Sean Parnell, it doesn't matter. The priority should be getting rid of this feminist crony.
This McConnell interview reminded me of all the reasons I dislike The Turtle.

McConnell said he found Christine Blasey Ford’s account of her sexual assault “convincing”...
I found this to be convincing:

He knew he had the votes for Kavanaugh without her. He doesn't want her to flip, which would be tempting if she was completely ostracized from the party. That could potentially be devastating.

Sad but true...
Already Primaried here, and she won as a write in in the General.. she’s not going anywhere...
What we have to do is make sure there are enough R’s in the Senate that we never have to depend on her vote to get things done.

Sounds like an honest assessment of the situation. He might be wrong, but I think he’s looking at it tactically.

She won as a write-in candidate last time around, beating both the Republican and Democrat nominees, so McConnell may be right. She caucuses with the Republicans, but she’s basically an independent who leans left.
To: Signalman
Mitch doesn’t want her to flip to the Democrats. Wait till after the midterms and we have more GOP Senators, she will be isolated.
To: Signalman
Murkowski is a sleazy opportunist who really tries to exploit her position as a swing vote whenever she has the chance.
Best way to deal with people like her is to elect a strong working majority that robs her of swing vote status and makes her vote on any given issue irrelevant
That said, Sara Palin could take her in 2024 if she really wants to
