GOP Sen. Murkowski 'struggling' with whether to vote for Trump
By Alexander Bolton - 06/04/20 12:22 PM EDT

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) on Thursday praised former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’s scathing rebuke of President Trump as “true and honest and necessary” and admitted she is “struggling” with whether to vote for the president.

“I thought General Mattis’s words were true and honest and necessary and overdue,” Murkowski, the chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said on her way to a vote in the Capitol Thursday.

“When I saw Gen. Mattis’s comments yesterday I felt like perhaps we’re getting to the point where we can be more honest with the concerns we might hold internally and have the courage of our convictions and speak up,” she told The Washington Post's Paul Kane, who pooled the remarks and sent them to other Senate reporters.

That's OK, Lisa.  Republicans in Alaska struggled with voting for you, and voted for Joe Miller instead.

Lisa Murkowski ‘Cannot Live in Fear’ of Trump Primary Threat

Sean Moran 9 Jun 2020

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) dismissed President Donald Trump’s threat to primary her on Monday, saying she cannot live in fear of the president’s Twitter account.

Murkowski recently praised former Secretary of Defense James Mattis and his attacks against Trump. Mattis said Trump was the “first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people.”

Murkowski said last week Mattis’ comments were “true, and honest and necessary and overdue.”

Asked by reporters whether she supports the president, she replied, “I am struggling with it [and] I have struggled with it for a long time.”

Murkowski told reporters Monday she continues to stand by her comments and she does not live in fear of the president’s tweets against her.

Murkowski told CNN, “I made the comments that I made. I stand by them. Again, I think it’s important that we have a president who is working to bring people together. … And tone and words matter.”

“I cannot live in fear of a tweet. That’s where I am now,” the Alaska Republican said.

Well, didn't she lose in a Republican primary LAST time, yet still win as a write-in candidate?

She might be able to do it again, if the folks up in Alaska still have the blinders on...

Yep.
Murkowski's criticism was mild compared to how Joe Lieberman in 2008 flat out campaigned for McCain, spoke at the Republican Convention, and recruited Hillary Clinton's PUMA supporters for McCain. Yet, Obama encouraged Harry Reid and the Dems to forgive Lieberman because he knew that legislation is often decided by a single senate vote and he would likely need Lieberman. And, it was a fortuitous bit of foresight because without Lieberman, there would be no Obamacare.

Now, juxtapose that with the torrent of abuse Trump heaped on McCain in 2016. When Trump needed one vote for the skinny repeal of Obamacare, McCain reciprocated the vindictiveness.

Instead of learning from this, Trump seems intent on making the same mistake with Murkowski. In 2022, if Murkowski wins as an independent again, what stops her from being similarly vindictive and caucusing with the Dems?

Don't do us any favors Lisa, if it's so hard for you.
