Lisa Murkowski: You Betcha if the Senate Is Tied 50-50 I Might Just Defect to the Democrats

She means, she might just defect to the Democrats officially.

Lisa Murkowski says that if the balance in the Senate goes from 53-47 back to 50-50, she's open to joining with the Democrats to give them the majority pic.twitter.com/Z3gwZfDxhO

15 She's not going to get the chance. Worst case scenario in 26 is 53-47, status quo.

Her saying this has a greater chance of sinking her in her re-election than actually opening any kind of actual opportunities to jump up the ranks of Senate Democrats.

Native American tribes are closely tied to the Murkowskis and a big reason why the repeal of the ranked choice POS system was retained in the last election. New attempt to kill it for 2026 and Murcow announcement might give it a bit of a boost.

Yes, that there seems to be the actual problem.

Posted by: Emmie celebrates the Audacity of Trump! at June 24, 2025 03:11 PM (rF2iL)

48 Readers added context: Murkowski said there was a world in which *coalitions* across parties (like in the AK state legislature) would be worth exploring, speaking hypothetically. She never said she'd consider switching parties.

she can just become an independent and caucus with the Dems, like Bernie Sanders and Angus King. That being said, it would be nice to see the defection going the other way for a change.

Would rather she beome a Dem. As a proud member of the Democratic Party we welcome her. she's one of very, very few Republicans in the Senate who actually have, what are those things called? Oh yeah, principles! Come on in, Lisa!

I watched her interview on CBS this morning. She was mealy mouthing some weasel words. I don't trust her. She was talking in circles, being evasive. She's selling her book that's why she's in the news now.

This smells of an attempt to fake some opposition to the "Loot America" bill. If she actually does it I will fall over from shock.

Nowhere in this video does she say that it is possible she would switch parties and become a democrat. Whoever wrote this didn’t listen to the clip.

50 Bitch McConnell has supported her after she has LOST two different primaries because she was his loyal minion. He wanted a RINO that did what she was told, not an actual conservative. He spent $25 MILLION helping her win against another Republican in 2022 while laughing about denying funding to actual contested and winnable seats.

She he knows she no longer has any protection or funding from the RINO 'leadership' and is going to lose in 2028 badly, so she's pulling an Arlen Specter and prepping the zone to switch parties on 'principle'.

She has always been and will always be one of the most disgusting self-serving RINOs in existence.

"Moore is also quoted as saying that Murkowski will not give up being a Republican while her father, former Senator and Governor Frank Murkowski is alive. “As long as Daddy’s still alive, she ain’t switching,” Moore is quoted as saying. “I think Daddy would be very disappointed.” Frank Murkowski is now 91 years old."

Anchorage Daily News, With Walker's blessing, former Gov. Murkowski will again explore Alaska-Canada rail link, Published: April 2, 2017

In part, "Former Gov. Frank Murkowski is exploring the creation of a rail connection between Alaska and Canada, an unrealized priority left over from his time in the state's highest office more than a decade ago.

A contract between Murkowski and Gov. Bill Walker's office says Murkowski will serve as Walker's "special envoy" and "perform services related to establishing a rail connection between Alaska and the Canadian rail system."

>>Why do Alaskans like the Murkowskis so much?

Regardless of locale, and the parties involved, most elections are "fortified" to one extent or another, the power structure in Alaska want's her in power, so, she will be in power until they don't want her in power.

But remember, to a lot of Alaskan's, she's preferable to Sarah Palin.

Let that sink in.

Politico: Palin: Murkowski stooped "low" Feb. 2010

In part, "Sarah Palin lashed into Sen. Lisa Murkowski several times Monday on behalf of her endorsed candidate in the Alaska Senate race, Republican Joe Miller.

Completing an electronic hat trick, Palin blasted Murkowski for the remarks she made during a debate last night via Twitter, on her Facebook page and in an e-mail sent to Miller’s supporters."

And, "The former Alaska governor has a contentious history with Murkowski and her father, former Gov. Frank Murkowski, that dates back almost a decade. In 2002, then-recently elected Gov. Frank Murkowski passed over Palin and appointed his daughter to his former Senate seat. Four years later, Palin defeated Frank Murkowski to win the governorship."

“The President authorizes you to provide unrestricted testimony to the House Oversight Committee, irrespective of potential privilege.”

A lot of the ground in AK is covered in muskeg, which is basically deep, deep moss. Especially in the wooded areas. It's like walking on 18 inches of wet kitchen sponges.

There was one lake in the training areas of Elmendorf/Richardson where the muskeg had grown out onto the surface. It was like a green iceberg, flat on top and about 10 feet of muskeg below the surface. Some airmen & soldiers had put plywood sheets on the muskeg so you could walk on the water about 50 yards offshore and fish at the edges. Freaky.

Going to Broadway from Hollywood isn't actually an upgrade.

Going from Hollywood to Broadway is something big stars can do to get adulation and paid (like Jake Gyllenhall and Denzel in their Othello), but it's more about convincing themselves that they're still actors instead of movie stars.

Zegler is not going to Bdwy because she needs to feel like an actress. She's going to Broadway because no one in Hollywood will hire her and her name is big enough to work on the marquee on Bdwy for opening weekend.

It didn't help bevin that he was a grifter that destroyed the family business in connecticut. He took over the bell making company that had been around for over 200 years in about 2009 and drove it into the ground. He cancelled the insurance on the factory and it subsequently burned to the ground after getting hit by lightning. The state (blumenthal) came in and bailed him out with grants and tax abatements. Once those were in place and he had the cash he promptly sold the company and moved away.
