Lisa Murkowski Threatens to Leave Republican Party and Join Democrats, Several Republican Senators Including Thune, Romney, Cornyn and Young Agree
July 17, 2023 | Sundance |

For those of us who have been trying to awaken people to the true nature of Republicans in the senate, aka “the Decepticons”, the latest self-admissions are very welcome.

According to interviews conducted by The Hill, several Republican senators are now saying they just cannot be members of the Republican Party if they are forced to represent the interests of the base voter.  These very specifically named Republicans have always been members of the UniParty in DC; however, now they are saying “populism” amid the commonsense, America First voting base is not going to be acceptable.

The senators are openly warning that if putting American interests first is going to be demanded by the voters, these Republicans will just become Democrats.   There is no reason for Americans to distrust the institutions the Republican senators support, and there will be no compromise or discussion.

What is making these Republican senators angrier is that who they consider to be intellectual and professional people are also demanding a more populist approach toward a government that represents the people.  This is just not going to be allowed according to Lisa Murkowski, John Thune, John Cornyn and the other names outlined.

She's threatening to be honest?

She's threatening to be honest?

Well, she's also threatening to reduce the ability of the GOP to have a majority necessary to control order and procedure in the Senate.

True, though having a known backstabber as part of that majority kind of mitigates that advantage. Shades of John McCain.

Shut up Patty Bouvier and just do it already.

Using Pres. Trump's language regarding the Ukraine/Russian War...

I could stop this kind of nonsense like that commercial sings/says, "... sell your house in seven days!"

I'd like to read the actual quotes of what she said, but if that means I have to click on the conservative nuthouse...no thanks.

Folks saying this still believe the established GOP is an opposition Party.    There was a time I believed this, too.

She references those in the upcoming debates becoming outlandish. So far the only one who is outlandish is Trump.

Murkowski is a RINO anyways, let her leave the GOP. They party is better off without her.

Thanks, and it is exactly as I figured.  The Conservative Nuthouse is literally lying once again because the Hill article says nothing of the short.  That is just an awful website that repeatedly misrepresents news stories for clickbait.  And most people don't read the underlying article because they assume the Nuthouse is being honest.  Big mistake.

Here's the Nuthouse Headline: "Lisa Murkowski Threatens to Leave Republican Party and Join Democrats, Several Republican Senators Including Thune, Romney, Cornyn and Young Agree"

The headline of the actual source article in the Hill is:

GOP senators rattled by radical conservative populism

Which is an accurate headline.  But Murkowski and four other GOP Senators threatening to quit the Republican Party, and become Democrats as the Nuthouse headline claims?  Completely false.  What Murkowski is talking about in the The Hill article is what some Republicans, presumably voters, are telling her, and not even they mention joining the Democratic Party. Here's the operative language from the original article in The Hill:

"Republican senators believe their party has a good chance to take back control of the White House and Senate, given President Biden’s low approval ratings and the favorable map of Senate seats up for reelection, but they regularly face political headaches caused by populist members of their party who say the rest of the GOP is out of step with mainstream America.

“We should be concerned about this as Republicans. I’m having more ‘rational Republicans’ coming up to me and saying, ‘I just don’t know how long I can stay in this party,’” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). “Now our party is becoming known as a group of kind of extremist, populist over-the-top [people] where no one is taking us seriously anymore.

“You have people who felt some allegiance to the party that are now really questioning, ‘Why am I [in the party?]” she added. “I think it’s going to get even more interesting as we move closer to the elections and we start going through some of these primary debates."

She's saying what's been told to her.  And the Nuthouse's claim that "Several Republican Senators Including Thune, Romney, Cornyn and Young Agree"...I mean, there is nothing remotely like that in the entire article.  They just made it up.

Is that a threat or a promise?

Ditos for me....
