An enraged President Donald Trump swore to personally thwart Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s (R-AK) reelection prospects on Thursday night after the senator applauded former Defense Secretary James Mattis’ searing essay about Trump’s infamous photo-op.



“Few people know where they’ll be in two years from now, but I do, in the Great State of Alaska (which I love) campaigning against Senator Lisa Murkowski,” Trump tweeted.................



The GOP senator described the ex-Trump official’s statement as “true, and honest and necessary and overdue.”

“When I saw General Mattis’ comments yesterday I felt like perhaps we are getting to a point where we can be more honest with the concerns that we might hold internally and have the courage of our own convictions to speak up,” she said.

He did not mention Murkowski’s support of Mattis’ statement, only her votes against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation and Trump’s bill that aimed to kill the Affordable Care Act.

“Get any candidate ready, good or bad, I don’t care, I’m endorsing. If you have a pulse, I’m with you!” the President tweeted.................

1. Can he do that

From prison

[padfun]

2. His endorsement will IMPROVE her chances.

He is so out of touch. In his own bubble.

[Polybius]

13. I doubt it

He's hated by us but his approval is still sky high among Republicans. Look at Sessions in Alabama. He was loved there and now he's down 22 points in his runoff for July.

3. That has been tried before when the republican party endorsed the tea party

candidate, and she ran a write in campaign and won in 2010. First time that has happened since the fifties

4. Nah...you'll be talking nonstop to your divorce lawyer

In response to Melania's petition for divorce. I'll put money on it and maybe much sooner than two years from now. She needs to get Barron and get the LIVING HELL away from that psycho.

[George II]

6. It would not surprise me if she files within months of him leaving office.

[Bengus81]

7. Yep...there are many who claim she would never divorce his fat ass

She just likes to hang around the money and the entrapment's. I don't buy it, she's been around that POS for years and years. Now ALL of us has seen the real Trump over the last 3.5 years and it's a horror story like no other.

He LOVES to hurt people,he truly loves it.

[musclecar6]

5. Those of us

Who hang out on here, know quite well who trump is. The more he reveals who he is along with guys like Mathis blasting away at him, hopefully a major groundswell will take place leading to a landslide victory in November along with taking back the senate and even a bigger majority in the house and we will be rid of our national disgrace.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Logistically, Trump can't make it happen.

Murkowski won her third term in the Senate in 2016, making the next opportunity to run in 2022.

Trump believes he'll either have the same or more influence on finding a primary challenger in two years, or he won't be out of office, or he won't be in prison.

[DownriverDem]

9. If all protesters vote

trump will be out of office and hopefully in prison.

[Gothmog]

10. trump will be out of office when this Senator is next up for re-election

[flibbitygiblets]

11. by "campaign", he means "tweet", and you can't do that from prison

Sorry to break it to ya, Bunker Baby.

[keithbvadu2]

12. "enraged" - so fitting!

"enraged" - so fitting!

[onetexan]

14. No honor among thieves. Murkowski should have voted to convict the bastard several months ago.

She should have known he is an unfit, fake POTUS who has no loyalties to anyone but himself. One reaps what one sows.
