1. Little by little

[wryter2000]

2. I wish she'd join the dems

Then, we'd only need one person to control the senate.

[leftieNanner]

4. Me too, but

she's from Alaska and that would be the end of her political career. She has to run again in 2022. She beat Joe Miller last time as a write-in candidate. I don't think she'd be so lucky again.

[Traildogbob]

10. Be patient

After Alaska is one big toxic oil field and fracking giant those fools may wake up. If not die from pollution.

[BGBD]

18. She could

Run in Alaska as a member of the Anti-Alaskan party and still have a good chance of winning. The Murkowski name is essentially royalty up there.

[TeamPooka]

25. I think you underestimate her strength. How many Senators have won a with a write in campaign?

give her Democrats and moderate republicans and she could win easily as a (D) in 2022, if she switched.

[walkingman]

9. I'm hoping some of the GOP folks who have come out against Trump will

at some point get the courage to admit they were sucked into the "lunatic fringe". Having witnessed the last 4 years they have no excuse any more.

[quakerboy]

28. would that really be so useful?

Shes a reliable vote for the R's, for all she plays the moderate.

[wryter2000]

31. Not unless we get another senator

If we won one seat in Georgia, Murkowski would give us the senate. That way, Mitch McConnell couldn't block things from coming to a vote. We might get a republican vote or two for something very popular. There has to be a reason McConnell blocks votes when his majority could simply vote them down. Probably, senators don't want to be seen blocking people from getting stimulus checks, etc.

As I recall, when Arlen Specter changed to dem, he was a pretty dependable vote. I think she might change her voting practices if she joined us.

But, of course, she'd only the our 49th member. We'd still need the 50th.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. is she riding with her concerned cohort? any word from the Maine waffler?

[The Genealogist]

6. I'm sure she'll board the concern express at the next stop

Or maybe not. She does like sitting on the fence.

[mucifer]

5. a congratulations to President Elect Biden would be more appropriate. But, I guess she doesn't have

the guts or the manners.

[madaboutharry]

15. Lisa Murkowski has congratulated President-elect Biden.

She did it early on. She actually called him to congratulated him.

[obamanut2012]

19. she did, weeks ago

[SlogginThroughIt]

7. Fuck her too.

She has tried to advertise herself as someone that will vote morally when needed and she fails at every turn.

[bdamomma]

13. Yup

she voted for Amy Phoney Barrett. I don't trust any Repigs.

[zentrum]

27. Barrett is really going to hurt

......the country for the next 40 years.

[subterranean]

21. Well, she did vote against the repeal of the ACA. So there's that.

John McCain got all the attention with his dramatic thumbs-down, but if Murkowski and Collins hadn't also voted no, it wouldn't have mattered. The ACA would be dead. So I have to give them partial credit for that. I say "partial" because they probably didn't know McCain would do what he did, and assumed their votes wouldn't be decisive.

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. She's still an (R)

Call us back when she flips.

[gratuitous]

11. Gee Senator, if only you'd known what kind of person Donald Trump is

And if you'd only had a chance to do something about that. It must be very distressing for you to sit, helpless to do anything about the damage being done to the country.

[malaise]

12. Call me when she says it's a crime

That is all

[Scruffy1]

24. They all should roast in hell.

A rat that flees a sinking ship is still a rat.

[Ferrets are Cool]

26. Ding, Ding. Nailed it!!

[stillcool]

14. anyone that aided and abetted...

the Trump-Con should be branded for life. They're all traitors. If I changed the noun, I could probably read this very same sentence on a right-wing site, which is kind of disturbing.

[Thomas Hurt]

16. You know damn well this was coming months ago lady, f**k off.

[msongs]

17. after 4 years of supporting trump and his policies she is suddenly concerned nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

20. You had your chance to hit the brakes, Lisa. Plenty of chances.

But no, you decided to stay with the runaway train for as long is it seemed useful. F you and F the ground you're walking on.

[bringthePaine]

22. doing this micro-minimal part of elected duty warrants neither thanks nor praise

[LudwigPastorius]

23. Oh, bite me, Murkowski.

You voted to ALLOW this bullshit by acquitting Trump in the impeachment trial.

You basically freed a serial arsonist so he could continue his spree of burning the country down.

All of these "NOW he's gone too far" assholes can fuck the hell right off.

[yellowcanine]

29. You got to admit, she sounds really CONCERNED. How is that vote against impeachment working out for

you, Lisa?

[JDC]

30. Empty Rhetoric from an Empty Suit.

She has never once done something that was not politically expedient for Trump's cause.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

32. Weak sauce.

But better than none!
