In a vacuum you’re happy to see bipartisan applause for stuff everyone should be happy about. Better than not doing it.
But it’s totally calculated for her. Politicians usually are, but still.

Yea, if I had to score her regarding support for Trump and/or Republican positions, I’d give her something like 15%, along with Manchin. Doug Jones doesn’t count as he’s only faking it for re-election. The rest, 5% or less.
But then for Republicans, even Murkowski and Romney get 65% scores from me. Murkowski let us down on Kavenaugh, Romney on witnesses (something he really he hadn’t done), but otherwise have still done far, far, better than any Democrat (almost always with us on tough judicial votes). Of course Romney being a dick is also true, but I’m just looking at votes. Then Collins, maybe 75%, and I give her a pass on witnesses, due to her vicious re-election fight. The rest are 90 to 100, even though many still hate Trump and many also support open borders.
So we have a 40% gap between the best that the Dems have and the worst that our side has, which is something that conservatives should REALLY consider, if they’re thinking about sitting out the Nevember election because their Republican Senate candidate/officeholder is a RINO or otherwise not quite ‘pure’ enough for them. Sitting it out only punishes your kids, it sure doesn’t punish them, nor does it change the GOP.
I thought it was great but my husband said Kyrsten Sinema is pretty liberal, she’s courting favor with the public. She plans to run for President someday.
