"SNIP......

Former President Trump “endorsed Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s (R) reelection bid, but only on the condition that Dunleavy doesn’t back Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) in 2022,” The Hill reports.

Said Trump: “Alaska needs Mike Dunleavy as Governor now more than ever. He has my Complete and Total Endorsement but, this endorsement is subject to his non-endorsement of Senator Lisa Murkowski who has been very bad for Alaska.”

He added: “In other words, if Mike endorses her, which is his prerogative, my endorsement of him is null and void, and of no further force or effect!”

......SNIP"

Trump is the Republican Party.

in BBB than Manchin, in fact, my bet is that her demands would be much worse, all around.

Manchin remains our best path forward, wooing a Republican just isn’t realistic.
