As an Alaskan I am perplexed by the craven cowardice and willingness of so many of my fellow Alaskans to accept anything in the name of party unity and refusing to stand up to the middle school bullying tactics of the Trump administration.  I've always believed it would be better to die standing up for what one believes than to live on one's knees kowtowing to a wannabe despot who thinks leadership is a "my way or the highway" attitude.  Congratulations to Senator Murkowski for once again proving that the women of Alaska are oft times made of sterner stuff than their male counterparts!
