It’s really not a matter of if Republican senators will leave the party in the lame duck session after a President Trump win in November; the question is: how many?

The predictability of the issue is actually quite simple. Almost all senators kneel at the altar of money, nothing else. The GOPe senators will exhaust every weapon in their arsenal on behalf of their multinational financial benefactors, prior to the November 2024 election. Once those narrative attack weapons are exhausted, they will take the deal and quit the party in their final political effort to retain affluence.

Lisa Murkowski switching parties is a no brainer. Susan Collins and Todd Young are two more possibilities. Mitt Romney has already announced he is leaving. Mitch McConnell has already announced he is stepping down from leadership and will not seek another term. A tenuous John Thune will only remain if he replaces McConnell. …. and so it goes.

I would bet on THREE Republican senators who will switch parties, but it could easily be more.

One thing is certain, those who do not switch/exit will remain as DeceptiCons and oppose: (a) any effort to confront the intelligence community they support; and (b) all Trump nominations, foreign or domestic policy, that threaten their place at the trough.

(Via CNN) – […] “I wish that as Republicans, we had … a nominee that I could get behind,” Murkowski told CNN. “I certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump.”

The party’s shift toward Trump has caused Murkowski to consider her future within the GOP. In the interview, she would not say if she would remain a Republican.

Asked if she would become an independent, Murkowski said: “Oh, I think I’m very independent minded.” And she added: “I just regret that our party is seemingly becoming a party of Donald Trump.”

Pressed on if that meant she might become an independent, Murkowski said: “I am navigating my way through some very interesting political times. Let’s just leave it at that.”

Well, nobody said Draining The Swamp would be easy, huh.

Well she voted like a democrat anyway so BFD.

Exactly. Having a "majority" is pretty worthless if a bunch are traitors. Worse than worthless actually, some people think something good will happen someday. It won't.

A democrat without papers.......

Time for a claim jumper special?

How does she keep getting reelected in Alaska!? Is she opening barrels of cheap whisky on her campaign stops?!

I know Joe Miller who beat her once in the Primary. MurCow went to the Fairbanks Women Republicans and begged and pledged for their support. The women who really do have power got out the write in campaign. MurCow presently uses her power with the Native Corporations to get them to vote for her. You get Juneau and Anchorage and then half of Fairbanks and its tough for any challenger to reel in enough votes to stave off the vote tallies that come from the native villages that are very D. and big government. Just talk to the people out in Bethel or Kotz and you will see the power of crony socialism. A lot of people hate the ugly troll but she knows how to get that Native Vote.

She needs to go something super bad. No clue how to get her out of office. She has never been a friend of common sense conservatives.

She's never won with a majority of the votes and was behind getting rank-choice voting. In 2010, she was soundly beaten in the R primary but then ran a massive campaign as an independent.

She needs to go.

🐕

She may as well leave……she’s never been a Republican anyway! memtb

She should have gone a long time ago.

Her boomerang won’t come back

I thought she left 15 years ago

Can't switch parties with a bullet in your head.

Just saying.

You can't.

So when did she actually join?

You are either an agency plant; or the dumbest mfer in a hotly contested field.

The Derby Donkey named Mitch ponied up 9 million in her recent Election Bid ..

Got to pay the Whore for her services.

I won't miss her, but would rather vote her out of office.
She doesn't give a schit about Alaskans or the party.

You have to Hand it to Emanuel he can shake a Bush..

The Reptilecan Party will look much different before and after this coming election the masquerader’s will have to leave to continue their parasitic practices..

Hopefully Emanuel can reconstitute the Opposition .

That is to be Seen ..

He’s certainly has had enough time to see the Whole Picture and how the Wicked Operate..

He'll be walking on thin ice- , already is.
Both parties are deep into desperation mode, they're throwing everything at Emanuel.

I wouldn't hit it. Just saying.

The Senate Republicans have to make sure they don’t screw up their own plan to remain in the minority.

Winning elections in both the House and the Senate would be a disaster for them.

If they do screw up and manage to win the majority, that’s when their backup plan will kick in and just enough Republicans either quit, or switch parties in order to keep Schumer and the Democrats in control.

If by some miracle Trump wins, as long as the Democrats are in control of the Senate, no judges, Justices, or cabinet Nominees will be confirmed, unless of course they are Deep State Approved.

She is deeply compromised and now that Feinstein is gone she's lost half her brain.

ranked choice gave us her and that peltolla. Both need gone really bad asap.

She, like about 75% of all "Republican" leadership IS A DEM/COMM!

The Trojan Horse policy is very very prevalent. Today about 75% of all so-called republicans are communist and 100% of democrats are.

Imo all that leave if Trump wins the election will show their true color.

I believe the RNC was well aware of who and what these people truly were when they funded them and promoted them.

With the RNC effectively pushing a massive cut of down ballot elections, thus donating the House and Senate majority and leadership will completely handcuff any potential gains of a Trump win. 2024 will be a complete chiitshow, and handing over the RNC to pay legal bills, was the beginning of the end of the hand wringing of the deep state bullchiit.

The only political party Murkowski ever belonged to is the Murkowski Party.

Remove your tin foil hat and explain?

Just because you're a pussy cowering in a puddle of piss means I'm dumb?

Nothing I wrote is untrue, derrogatory, inflamatory or threatening in the slightest.

Just a water is wet statement of fact.

The fact you responded as you did reflects more on who YOUR employer is.

Islam is the Religion of Peace

Trump using RNC money to pay his legal bills is a MSNBC/CNN propaganda talking point.

If Trump were to even think about doing such a thing, he would be indicted immediately.

But hey, you do you, you spread the MSM propaganda,

All I Know is the 8th Amendment isn’t being Observed in the Communist Republic of Yorkie ..


Once a Long Standing Combined is Broken Parties must Separate their Relationship..

We may have to let Georgia go Also ..

You're not paying attention Stevebo, but you just keep being you. I saw the interview with the Michael Whatley, dig it up yourself and watch it....but I'm sure you'd call him a MSM pundit.

lol

Can anyone guess how many seats Republicans are projected to pick up in the Senate this Fall?

Frank the bank gave us Liiisa. RCV saved her.

She is crooked and a liar.

I despise that bug eyed woman.

I don't want her to leave the republican party but I do want her to leave the senate.
