Current Politico top story: Up in '22, Murkowski readies to face impeachment vote fallout

[DonaldsRump]

Politico is clearly biased, but how in OMG's name is THIS the issue, rather than trump's guilt?

Just think about that.

1. It will be a 3 way race.

Murkowski, a Democrat and a Trumpist.

[Celerity]

3. I doubt a Dem runs. We had no Dem in 2020. Indie Al Gross

was crushed.

[roamer65]

4. Let's see. Maybe one will step forward.

But I expect Murkowski will be re-elected.

[DonaldsRump]

2. And I want to thank these fine people for rec'ing my OP

I have NEVER reached so many recs this quickly. I wonder what's up?

5. That's what gossip whores like politico do. It's not the corruption by Republicans that is the story

but what others do about it and try to create a story instead of reporting on the thing itself .

[UTUSN]

6. Well her state elected her.If they don't deserve her,as Coriolanus said,"There are worlds elsewhere"

[Indykatie]

7. Murkowski Won As An Independent - She Needs to Become a Democrat

[JI7]

8. Why does she need to become a Democrat ? I think she is the type

of Republican we need.

[Rice4VP]

9. Because we need the numbers to control more things instead

if this weird power sharing nonsense

[DeminPennswoods]

10. She should follow Sanders and King,

declare herself an Independent and caucus with the Dems. If I were Schumer, I would be having serious talks with her about doing that. The majority has perks that can help her get re-elected. I'd be courting Collins, too.

[Midwestern Democrat]

11. Trump beat Biden by over 10% in Alaska while Biden beat Trump by 9% in Maine and 36% in VT

Murkowski's not remotely in the same situation as Angus King or Bernie Sanders

[DeminPennswoods]

13. Think that's spurious correlation

The Murkowskis have been powers in Alaska for years. She won as a write-in candidate for pete's sake. I understand lots of people like to use presidential voting as an indicator, but it's not. Voters can and do split tickets (see Maine). AFAIK, Murkowski is well-known as an independent thinker. Voters care about who can bring home the bacon. For at least the next two years, her chances of doing that are better being with the majority than the minority.

12. Is she really think Trump is a threat...

Then she should become an independent in order to spoil a potential Trump supporting Republican becoming a senator.

[Polybius]

14. Is Joe Miller gonna primary her again?

Or will it be Sarah Palin?
