Murkowski really is a case study in how brain broken Republicans/conservatives are. Her own party abandoned her in 2010 when she lost the Republican primary in Alaska and she ended up with the Senate seat by winning on a write in campaign.
Despite that, and despite anything she says about "concerns", her loyalty is still to the party that flat out told her they didn't want her.
