text: Senator Murkowski continues to show that she is an adult in the room, a legislator who can think and act independently in the interest(s) of Alaskans and who puts country above party dogma and strong-arm tactics. She has demonstrated the independence and courage that will forever earn my support and vote. She and Senator McCain believe that health care reform is so important that any reform should be subject to "regular order", a deliberative and inclusive Senate process to openly air and vet the pros and cons of any new health care policy. Such policy developed in back rooms in Washington by a handful of same-party Senators with zero public visibility and with no inclusion of the opposition party is properly doomed to failure. Trump desperately wants to be able to sign something, anything, to help his sinking ship. Please stay your course Senator Murkowski. As Mr. McCain noted yesterday, compromise in a viable Democracy is not treason nor weakness. It is imperative for good policy.
