RINO Lisa Murkowski Threatens to Leave GOP Over Trump: ‘I’m Very Independent Minded’
Gateway Pundit ^ | 3/24/24 | Ben Kew

Posted on 03/24/2024 8:38:02 AM PDT by Duke C.

Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski has threatened to leave the Republican Party over the nomination of Donald Trump.

Murkowski, who has long sought to undermine Trump and the wider conservative agenda, bemoaned the fact that he was once again the party’s nominee.

“I wish that as Republicans, we had … a nominee that I could get behind,” Murkowski said in an interview with CNN. “I certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump.”

Dems don’t care how dirty DNC/Board of Elections, etc., have to play, so long as they ‘win’.

Disgusting, but, true.

Mitch and the boys pushed ranked voting through in AK to save this worthless traitor. So the country is stuck with her for at least 4 years.

Hey Lisa, which Democrat Senator is going to give up their committee chairmanship for you? After the election, blow the whole thing up and start over.

I hope enough America First senators win in 2024 so we can tell Lisa to get lost. I’m sick of her. Ditto Susan Collins.

It must have already hit her in the face.

“That means Sarah Palin will beat you in the next election.”

Murkowski doesn’t face the voters again until 2026. By then who knows what issues will be important to Alaska voters and how she will stand on those issues. Given she has been reelected 4 times since her governor father appointed her to an open Senate seat, she must be serving Alaska voters well.

Her major problem in defecting from the party is loss of seniority unless the Democrats are willing to credit her 20+ years of seniority, thereby putting her over long time serving Democrats for perks and committee seats/chairmanships. If Dems don’t give her seniority to switch, sides, she starts at the bottom of the totem pole which would be extremely unpalatable for her ego.

In addition she today enjoys much more national media presence than Senator from a low population state normally gets because she is frequently outspoken against Trump and conservatives in the Republican Party. Plus she often defects and votes with the Democrats. Therefore she is a reliable soundbite for the leftwing reporters trying to bash Republicans in general or Trump specifically.

As Senators Jim Jeffords and Arlen Specter discovered when they defected from the GOP, the left wing press has little interest in a turncoat senator whose new junior status in the Democrat party comes with no political power. They quickly learned the Democrat politicians and liberal media who applauded your treachery in the past simply ignore you until you fade away.

Murky has always been a Marxist Dem; she just runs as a Republican to get more money to campaign.

Very Ugly, woman. She could assist world hunger. Place her out in any corn field in the corn belt. She would have crows bringing back corn, they stole three years ago.

She thinks that statement makes her a superior human. She gives illuminati vibes like she is part of some secret society.
