It all rests on Murkowski

when did she say that?

after the commitee vote?

@Walter Johnson If Collins votes no, there is no chance she'll be reelected

Couldn't you say the same with Murkowski?

I guess we'll have to see.

Well, one more week.

I'm furious.

This should have been done 8 days ago.

The Republican Party must burn to the ground
