Murkowski against repeal only kills it

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Ala.) says she will not support moving forward with a plan to repeal ObamaCare with a delayed replacement, effectively killing the latest legislative gambit from Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)

Murkowski, who had balked at the last version of the ObamaCare bill, said she is a "no" on the motion to proceed to a repeal-only plan. She is the third Republican senator to take that position.

That didn't take long.

She is a member of a political party that only exists in her mind. The republican party has become the party of Trump and his enablers.

I would love to hear the private converstations she has with Sen. Susan Collins. I wonder how they talk about Trump.
