Sen. Lisa Murkowski, aghast at Donald Trumpâs candidacy and the direction of her party, wonât rule out bolting from the GOP.
The veteran Alaska Republican, one of seven Republicans who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial amid the aftermath of January 6, 2021, is done with the former president and said she âabsolutelyâ would not vote for him.
âI wish that as Republicans, we had ⌠a nominee that I could get behind,â Murkowski told CNN. âI certainly canât get behind Donald Trump.â
The partyâs shift toward Trump has caused Murkowski to consider her future within the GOP. In the interview, she would not say if she would remain a Republican.
Asked if she would become an independent, Murkowski said: âOh, I think Iâm very independent minded.â And she added: âI just regret that our party is seemingly becoming a party of Donald Trump.â
Murkowski who voted for almost every bullshit corrupt nominee and tax break the trump administration coughed up? That Murkowski?
Yes she had the occasional âreservationâ. Like Collins she just did the evil 72% of the time anyway.
72% sounds exceptional to me. Most of the legislation that the House and Senate deal with is uncontroversial and unless you read the daily Congressional Record would never hear about because it concerns only a handful of people or itâs something we all agree on. Shit like nominations for the deputy undersecretary to the diplomat plenopotentiary to Mauritania or whatever. Iâm sure a lot more of it is being unnecessarily politicized in order to sabotage the country but still. Even Bernie and Ted Cruz I would expect to be more than 72%. Got me curious.
