Murkowski who voted for almost every bullshit corrupt nominee and tax break the trump administration coughed up? That Murkowski?
Yes she had the occasional "reservation". Like Collins she just did the evil 72% of the time anyway.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

72% sounds exceptional to me. Most of the legislation that the House and Senate deal with is uncontroversial and unless you read the daily Congressional Record would never hear about because it concerns only a handful of people or it's something we all agree on. Shit like nominations for the deputy undersecretary to the diplomat plenopotentiary to Mauritania or whatever. I'm sure a lot more of it is being unnecessarily politicized in order to sabotage the country but still. Even Bernie and Ted Cruz I would expect to be more than 72%. Got me curious.
"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed ... and we will deserve it"
-Senator Lindsey Graham
They've all deserved it for a long time and for a lot of things. I'm pretty sure nobody in an elected position in DC today was there in 1964 when Goldwater's clique inside the GOP turned it anti-civil rights and pro-Southern Strategy, but every elected Republican in DC today knew that had happened and signed up anyway
The Republican party is the disease that needs curing*, everything they've done are just worsening symptoms of that disease
*For the record, I think violence would be an ineffective and self-defeating course of treatment
This mf spittin.
I wasn't even old enough to vote but was stumping for a candidate many years ago, a Democrat, and an older voter rebuffed me while walking into the polling place, fine, but then he said "you know that's the party of socialists and communists right?" And I'm like "yeah the other party is that of the KKK."
Not all Republicans are Klan but all Klan are Republicans. And I keep waiting for the day the GOP will kick these fools to the curb but every year they go further to the right. Fine, maybe you're too young to remember Goldwater. Remember Willie Horton? Remember Sarah Palin?
They keep on showing everyone there is no floor. That's why David Frum warns that before Republicans reject conservatism, they will reject democracy.
And here we are.
"... And I will help."
Important thing to note here is that he just meant they would be "destroyed" in the election - as long as Trump means they stay in power, he has no problem with him.
She just now noticed all the Nazis at her favorite bar?
Do it, coward.
She'd do it too. And she would still be re-elected.
Republicans never have any idea what they vote on, as long as it has an (R) next to it.
One time Murkowski was not on the ballot and needed to be written in, and spelled correctly. She still won.
And that was against a jamoke from Tea Party, who were basically proto-chuds
So guys, there's this sinking ship, see, and she's on it and afraid she'll drown - so when faced with irrelevance she finally finds an excuse to get onto another ship.
The important thing to remember is that she's still the same piece of shit she's always been... so don't let her on our ship. Just let her fall into irrelevance.
hey y'all, no joke... I'm totally gonna maybe probably be pretty dang upset this time you guys... Seriously, don't be surprised if I might possible potentially consider not fully supporting the worst shit again - okay, so I did support it again, but you got to admit, I got pretty close to not doping that for a second maybe (I didn't, but you can totally imagine what it would be like if I did right?)
