Murkowski says she is not considering joining Democratic caucus
By Lexi Lonas - 01/09/21 02:55 PM EST

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) responded “absolutely, unequivocally not” when asked if she was considering switching to the Democratic party.

Liz Ruskin, an Alaska public radio reporter, asked Murkowski if she was planning on becoming a Democrat amid speculation of her identity with the Republican party.

“No. No. Absolutely, unequivocally not,” Murkowski replied.

Rasmussen POTUS approval poll January 8, 2021..  a full day after the Capitol event.

Approve- 48%
Disaprove - 50%

The socialist, MSM, Big Tech all, are way over estimating the anger at DJT.

Pols know they better minimize the knee jerk reaction......

That's only one day...they do a 3-day rolling average so when all three days show and people have listen to all the Trump bashing I expect it to drop significantly

Of course she would never consider it.  The DEMS need her right where's she at; she's a working agent for them.

Holy Smokes  Big News.....  The needle hardly moved in Trump's Approvoal Rating on Rassmussen this morning.  The people are not buying off on this sham witch hunt of Trump, and in fact the Capitol event in the eyes of the "good folk", was not as much an event as the despicable left/MSM/Big Tech is making out.

Not as if there's a dime's worth of difference between the parties now anyway.

Sure there is, there is the deomcrat party and the lap dog party. The last time what was called the republican party had any balls was when Clinton was president, and even then they were testículos muy pequeños  or 非常小的睾丸. I thought it appropriate to use the democrats two preffered languages.

She's better situated to do the most damage to the Republic as a RINO.

Not anymore. The GOP will not get my vote.  A constitutional conservative will.  Huge difference, especially these days.  I don't anticipate that I'll be voting in any presidential election for a very long time, if ever as it is very doubtful that we'll see a true conservative get nominated.  Not going to happen.  Not with the new regulations and voting laws that will more than absolutely change to favor the DEMS. Very few conservative candidates at the local level (at least here in FL) get nominated. Rubio turned out to be a RINO.  Scott turned out to be a RINO and the jury is still out on DeSantis.
