(or go independent) she make it clear it was for the benefit of Alaska not over the larger national moral crisis.

Now I think it was more than that. She was fishing for pork, realizing the current situation gave her a lot of leverage.
She is the new Manchin after all. Certainly she's no Cheney.
We had a glimmer of hope once, but Murkowski won't be saving democracy.
