Question is - do you govern by your principles, or do you govern by poll?
If you're governing by poll, what's the use of a representative and why don't we just have direct democracy?David Cameron governed by poll much more than previous PM's. What a freaking disaster that turned into.
We get the chance to kick them out once every few years. We shouldn't be micromanaging them in the interim with referenda. Presumably, this woman will be get her just reward, too.

Sen. Murkowski once lost the GOP primary then ran a write-in campaign to get herself reelected as Senator. The people of Alaska really wanted her at one point, not that long ago.

I see that she's been elected to the Senate now for close to twenty years
In December 2002, Murkowski—while a member of the state House—was appointed by her father, Governor Frank Murkowski, to fill his own U.S. Senate seat made vacant when he resigned from the Senate after being elected governor.
The appointment caused controversy in Alaska. Many voters disapproved of the nepotism. Her appointment eventually resulted in a referendum that stripped the governor of his power to directly appoint replacement Senators.

Yes indeed, time to leave.
On the other hand, I applaud her for taking leadership and voting according to her conscience regarding Trump. The rabble by itself is at best only capable of a trade union mentality which, as we all know, is quite politically undesirable in the large scheme of things.

Everybody loves an independent thinker as long as they don't independently think of something we don't agree with.

Never fear, Mr. Biden is strongly considering starting back constructing The Wall. Now, I'm sure he'll blame it on Trump...Funds already appropriated or some such BS.

Is there an important part of the the swing vote electorate who care about immigration law, to the extent they can think beyond "kids in cages bad"?
I know Latinos tend to be in that group, being socially allowed to think and speak clearly on that topic. I wonder if any white people are in that group. Definitely not any California Democrats.

That's about 98% in Trump numbers.
