Lisa Murkowski should have been out of the U.S. Senate in the 2010 elections, when she was beaten in the Republican primary by Joe Miller. Instead, she conducted a write-in campaign in the general election and managed to survive when Democrats fled from their candidate and wrote her name in to deny Miller, a tea party conservative, an opportunity to serve. And then Murkowski had her allies pass the chaotic, corrupt, and infamous ranked choice voting system, together with a jungle primary, in advance of last year’s election. Had there been a Republican primary, she would have been crushed by Kelly Tshibaka, whom the state GOP endorsed. [More]

That must be why I still hear “conservatives” raving about Tim Scott.
