QUOTING SEN. TED CRUZ:
“Look, I appreciate that she doesn’t typically engage in the overheated partisan rhetoric that both sides sometimes get into — I think that’s beneficial,” Cruz told The Republic after speaking at a Turning Point USA Young Latino Leadership Summit in Phoenix. “Kyrsten is one of the few in the Democratic conference who would like to see us work together more.”
Asked if he thought Sinema would waver on her filibuster position, he answered, “I certainly hope not. She says she won’t. But I have no doubt that Schumer and the far left are being vicious with her right now.”
The only reason that Cruz can say “far left” with a straight face is because Kyrsten Sinema is there to provide contrast. Absent her (Manchin is a fraud), Senate Democrats would be virtually indistinguishable from the old Soviet Politburo.
I do remember the campaign against her. A leftie’s leftist. Were we wrong? I’m sure she’s still a leftie and if we had the majority she’d be that way against us. So how do we take her on next time. If the alternative is is Cindy McCain I’d still vote but not got.
Is she “moderate” enough to utterly reject everything that the Maoists running her party believe. Her voting record will tell the tale.
It shows what a delicate position we are in, when Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin are all that stand between us and the radical Democrat agenda. If these 2 would agree to get rid of the filibuster, it would open the floodgates to all the radical legislation currently on hold.
It is frustrating that we have to hope and pray 2 Democrats hold firm against the pressures they are under.
I sure hope the 2022 mid term elections change the lineup in both House and Senate.
Thank You for posting.
IMO Senate (and House) Rats more closely resemble the Red Guards than anything seem in Moscow.
She’s praying that there is no audit of her Senate election.
Who does a liberal pray to?
I wonder if Nancy Pelosi will call her brave.
Sinema should switch to the GOP and Cheney should go over to the Dims.
And yet, we have a whole group of conservatives who proudly and loudly advertise that they will never vote for another Republican, and encourage others to follow their lead because "they're all RINO's".
We have to keep the score close enough so we have a chance of winning if we get power again. That means a temporary fighting withdrawal, not abandoning the field of battle.
She wasn’t running in 2020, so no Audit of her Win.
It’s that Gun Grabbing SOB Kelly who shouldn’t be in the Senate.
your thoughts, professor?
She doesn’t need to worry. She beat McSally badly. McSally was easily the worst candidate I’ve seen since Flakey.
I have repeatedly said Enema is a VERY shrewd pol, probably one of the best I’ve seen since Reagan. She knows when to keep her mouth shut, when to vote “conservative” so that when she votes DemoKKKrat on big issues, she’ll have cover in AZ as a “moderate.”
I think she could be president.
I’ve liked her since the SOTU when she ignored the suggestion to “watch her ass”. That’s a job that others can do.
I generally agree with your assessment of her, but there is no way she could be President.
The left controls the DNC. Period. The left hates her.
To her credit, she is at least smart enough to try and listen to her constituents.
Listen to the lyrics “Imagine” and you have you answer.
They worship the coming Utopia that they will create with their enlightened wisdom.
Put simply, they worship what they see in the mirror and what they can “remake” the world into...
You may be right, but she would be an improvement on Chinese puppet emperor Kamala. It also doesn’t hurt that she wears short, short skirts and is a “looker” at least by Democrat politician standards.
