Trump: Murkowski’s vote on Kavanaugh was ‘really unacceptable’

By Tal Axelrod - 10/06/18 05:43 PM EDT

President Trump called Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s (R-Alaska) “present” vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court “really unacceptable.”

“I think she will never recover from this. I think the people from Alaska will never forgive her for what she did.” Trump said in a brief phone interview with The Washington Post shortly before Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court by a 50-48 margin.

Murkowski initially stated she would vote “no” on Kavanaugh, citing “matters of temperament” and “demeanor.” She initially cast a “no” vote, but asked that vote to be withdrawn as a courtesy to Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), who missed the vote to attend his daughter’s wedding.

The practice is known as a “pair between senators” and keeps the margin at that which would have resulted if Daines had been present to vote to confirm Kavanaugh.

   We all know she's a vengeful bi1ch, hope we don't need her vote on something important before 2022 similar to McCain's thumbs down on obummercare lite.

Despite the MSM bullshit, we are gaining Senate seats in November. She will be irrelevant then and it would be a good time to freeze her ass out.

   Do you really think McConnell will marginalize her, he hasn't yet and she's been there 8 years?   
   Give Mitch a solid +4 and he will still find a way to disappoint you, it's how he rolls and McCarthy in the House is Boehner v3.0.
   The more things change the more they stay the same.

She is an extremely odd person.  Can't figure out how she got elected.  Maybe Alaska is as crazy as Hawaii.

Dammit @corbe   Will you stop being a downer.  I am currently feuding with one of your pet hates on the forum.  Does that cheer you up at all?

I'm hoping we pick up several Senate seats. Murkowski can fade away. If enthusiasm remains high and Republicans get out and vote, I think there's a chance we can keep the House. Maybe I'm overestimating, but I like being optimistic for a change
