I feel like moderate republicans get way too much hate here and everywhere else. She's stuck in a crappy situation. At least she's saying something, which is more than even retiring "well respected" senators like Lamar Alexander have done.
With all due respect, you cannot really speak with complete certainty as to how easy or hard it is for Murkowski to do certain things. You can't speak from experience. Neither can I. But at least I acknowledge that for her to have gone this far, she has to have had some competence at this, and thus her instincts should be trusted.
Murkowski's political fortunes do not depend on how this site sees her, they depend on how she navigates the states' political scene.
Many on here do seem to forget Murkowski's refusal to vote for Kavanaugh back in 2018. However, I also think that if Murkowski was truly "struggling" with whether to support Trump, she would have at least voted for witnesses. As it was, she did not, and she was ultimately upstaged by Mitt Romney with the impeachment process.
