"I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment:
"Selfishness — I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand.
"Lack of accountability — I know the bill is bad. Hopefully someone else will fix it.
"Cowardice — I’m scared of Trump and his voters, and need to go along to get along with my GOP colleagues.
"Moral rot — I know the difference between right and wrong, and actively chose wrong."
—Sarah Longwell, The Bulwark
