Following in the footsteps of Mitch McConnell, Decepticon Senator John Barrasso vows to support DeceptiCon Senator Lisa Murkowski (U-DC, via Alaska) if she seeks re-election.
Murkowski voted to impeach President Trump and Trump has vowed to campaign against Murkowski in the 2022 GOP primary.
WASHINGTON DC – Sen. John Barrasso said Sunday he’d back Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski for reelection, breaking with former President Donald Trump not long after he vowed to campaign against her.
“I want to always make sure we nominate somebody who can win in November,” Barrasso, the No. 3 Senate Republican, said on NBC’s “Meet The Press” of the 2022 midterm elections. “Lisa Murkowski knows Alaska better than anybody, and she’s an incredible fighter for American energy.” The Wyoming Republican cautioned that Murkowski — who has held her seat since 2002 — has not officially declared she would seek another term, but “if she does, I’m going to support her.”
[…] Murkowski is one of seven Republicans who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial but is the only one of that cohort to face reelection next year. […] Murkowski, who succeeded her father, Frank Murkowski, in the Senate, has also proved a difficult person for Republicans to unseat. She managed to win as a write-in candidate after losing a GOP primary in 2010, and Alaska has since switched to a ranked-choice voting system that will pit candidates of all parties against one another in an open primary, with the top four vote-getters advancing to the general election.
Barrasso also said he stood by Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney (read more)
I always wondered when the smooth talking con man would show his true colors. He is going to find himself even less popular in Wyoming than Liz.
Yep, Shifty John’s been on our radar for replacement for some time now.
If I were Lisa I would stay as far away form Barr(ass)o as possible…
Fascinating to watch how a small group with strong personal interests in common draw close together. It’s not out of personal affection or respect, but just the survival instinct of those trapped together under siege. None outside the group can ever be trusted. None outside the group are entitled to much. Lindsey Graham never speaks the truth when on Fox News. His audience is not his group, and it doesn’t occur to him that this audience is entitled to truth.
The bonds are strong, but at the same time brittle. Since the mutual goal is no less than coordinated survival, the bonds can be shattered if survival is threatened. The ethos of the Mafia comes to mind, eh?
Perhaps, this fight between RINOs and MAGA will result in Republican election losses. Some argue accept the RINOs and instead ‘work.with.them’ I say, a loss is better than a win by a Faux Conservative; a RINO win is a disguised globalist’communist win.
When Sarah Palin mops the floor with Lisa he will be singing a different tune.
Yeah. And it needs to be “So long! Farewell! Auf wiedersehen, goodbye!”
They should hold hands, and jump off a tall building. Both headed for the DUSTBIN of HISTORY.
The group that needs to go just keeps outing themselves. Fine! Barrasso took the ticket? He can take a boot to the arse out the Senate door as well.
Alaskans: “Wha, who?”
Let’s BURN IT ALL DOWN. DEFEAT them ALL. There is NO SECRET NOW who the enemies are, just about EVERY ONE, save a very darn few. McConnell riding out now, it seems, since his wife has been discovered doing what we’ve known for YRS she was doing, in cahoots with China. McConnell’s went from a $3m net worth to $36m net worth, with $20-$25m being dropped by the Chinese shipping co her family owns and being invested with the Chinese govt….
BURN IT ALL DOWN. Burr in NC RETIRING and NCGOP thinks they have yet another ‘GOPe’ candidate they plan to drop in the Primary. FAT DAMN CHANCE…Walker is the RINO being named….Ain’t happening in NC. We took in Burr & Tillis and got us nothing, 2 worthless, anti-Trump, anti-MAGA senators; pushing open borders, undocumented workers and supporting Chamber 100%.
The important thing to remember is that the replacements of these RINO fakes must be very carefully vetted.
It’s a big club but you ain’t in it.
If Murkowski were such a fighter for American energy, she could never have fought against President Trump because Trump was the greatest U.S. energy President in 75 years. He opened the ANWR reserve, not to mention the Keystone pipeline. And the tremendous encouragement of fracking for natural gas. Barrasso is a lying asso.
These folks will go the way of there distant, extinct cousins, the Woolly Rhinos
Just wanted to point out this understated observation, to McConnell’s left shoulder, during any news interview, you will find Joni Ernst. She talks a good game. Big and tough lady (busy castrating pigs and all) fighting the men each day for Iowa (that’s very questionable). When it comes to the country, party and Trump administration however – she disappears. Why? Her political sugar daddy, McConnell. He just pulls her strings and she becomes a nice prop for whatever he’s selling that day. Keep that in mind Iowans.
I have been watching her also. She is declaring. She Barrasso, Cheney, Thune, Murkowski, McConnell, Sasse, Collins, Cornyn, and about 10 other died in the wooly rino need to be destroyed. Other sorta rinos would get the message … the old pre ’48 GOP is coming back. Oh I hope.
You will also find Dr. John and Thune riding shotgun for the turtle, just as the picture shows. We need to get rid of Murkie first, whatever it takes, and then go to work on the others. A ten-spot donation to Trump from 80 mil of us would send a chilling message to the decepticons.
I think Wyoming needs to take the trash out.
Election??? Been there done that. What’s the point? They will just “find” enough votes to put her in office.
Yes Murkowski has this because Trump is still suffering approvals in the mid 30’s Nationwide and hypothetically even if Palin was to win a primary against her, she could run a general election as an Independent just as she did before and there are enough Democrats and Moderate Republicans who will STEAM ROLL Palin I would say in a General Election Match up it would be Murkowski 57% and Palin 43% ……Sarah Palin will LOSE to Lisa Murkowski
He won’t be gone until 2024.
