"This is the Republican party"

[KayF]

Lisa Murkowski has said "no way" at the idea of switching to the dems.

She said:

“I can be very discouraged at times with things that go on in my own caucus, in my own party,” Murkowski told a trio of reporters on Friday. “But I have absolutely no desire to move over to the Democratic side of the aisle. I can't be somebody that I'm not.”

Well, let's keep reminding her, she may not want to switch to the dems, she's choosing to stay with the Republicans, aka the MTG party.

Is "discouraged" what she thinks about her party? Not something stronger?

I just noticed "Republican party" is trending on Twitter, and people are describing Murkowski's party pretty well, for example

1. The GOP has become the party of deranged white supremacists,

so if that’s where she still wants to stay, I guess we know what she is.

2. She can't join the party of good governance, helping the people, preserving democracy.

Murkowski has just revealed her soul.

3. She's trying to stay Republican

If she keeps her ground she will be able to rebuild the Party. With Mitt and Kasich.

I believe the radical GOP will die out. It will implode. She wants to be there to pick up the pieces.

I’m not holding it against her. I’m not sure she can stand her ground. She’ll probably fall in line eventually. That is when I will call her down.

5. Hope you're right about the radical side of the GOP dying out.

Our democracy would be so much healthier if that happened.

6. I think when the minions start getting stiff time and fines...

The sedition bloom will be off the rose.

4. If she doesn't toe the crazies' line, she will be primaried out

So, how's she gonna help the party then?
