I was saying that courting one of Murkowski or Collins would be the only hand the Dems had left if they split the runoffs in GA, I never thought Trump would wind up causing it to happen instead lmfao

It's hilarious that if the cops had done their job, the far right and Trump would be in a million times better shape right now. But they just assumed they would be friendly/wanted to help the mob, and then they suddenly became the dog who caught the car

"Questions her future as a republican" is leverage, not necessarily a promise. However... Murkowski is up for re-election in 2022, and she's already announced she's running. Interestingly, that will be the first election with Alaska's new jungle rules - ranked-choice voting of 4 candidates in the general, I don't know if that plays into it.

Alaska ballot measure 2 just passed this november, it's kinda cool and weird!
https://ballotpedia.org/Alaska_Ballot_Measure_2,_Top-Four_Ranked-Choice_Voting_and_Campaign_Finance_Laws_Initiative_(2020)

I really wonder if this gives Murkowski an opening to keep office even as a Democrat, if she assumes multiple republican challengers might split the vote even with ranked-choice? E.g., each republican might have a lot of voters who pick them as 1st, but Murkowski as 2nd, and that plus all the democrat votes and a solid chunk of republican loyalists would win the office?

So what are the odds they were watching whatever Trump tweeted before posting it and he said one of the magic phrases that caused this? Or did they actually have an all hands on deck meeting and decide to do it?

I doubt she'd run as a Democrat or officially switch parties, she'd just become, and run as, an independent.

Yeah, and if she’s an Independent does she caucus with the GOP still? If so I don’t see a lot of point to standing up to the party by leaving it. Even if the Dems can’t count on her vote, if she caucuses with them that makes it easier to hold onto committee chairs.

I don't see a whole lot of gap between her and Manchin. Maybe on unions. I expect they're 100% aligned on dirty resource extraction policy, which is super important in both states. I agree she'd more likely go independent, and if she went Dem I doubt she gets a committee chair (she's 'only' a three-term senator, and those generally go to the most senior, although not always).

e. actually yeah 3 terms is enough, and she could probably demand a chair as payment for agreeing to caucus with the dems, hey

She got primaried by a teabagger nut and won the general with write in votes, I think she'll do fine with ranked choice.

Murkowski's actually pretty decent on environmental poo poo. My mom works for an environmental non-profit in Washington State and Murkowski has apparently been really helpful working with Cantwell and Murray about stuff protecting and funding parks and what not.

They had a blog post that explained it was because his tweets today were glorifying violence and his supporters were taking them as indication they should continue and attack the inauguration.
