I don't give her or Susan Collins any credit for that. Mitch McConnell let her vote against it, because he thought he had the votes. John McCain saved the ACA. Lisa Murkowski was, and always will be, a pawn of Mitch McConnell. She would have voted for the repeal if anyone suspected McCain's surprise vote ahead of time.

They needed her vote. If you're claiming that she really wanted to get rid of it, but was surprised when McCain voted against it, then should could have easily changed her vote at the end. But she didn't.

She can remain an Independent but just change who she caucuses with.
Pay her off to do it.
Then we only need to win one Georgia runoff for a tie that Harris breaks or win both runoffs to be at 51-49.
Pipe dream, I know.
But Schumer should at least ask her what her price is.

winner take all as the House. Even if she still caucuses R, if she supports us on key votes it would be great.

But make no mistake, Lisa Murkowski... we are wearing masks, but not over our eyes. There are many snakes in the grass in the path ahead and we are much more experienced now at spotting them, thanks to the “contributions” of the mssrs Trump and Pence.
