Sinema is a democrat. She believes in every aspect of the democrat platform. She’d vote for this thing if she was from a state that would tolerate it. Lets not pretend that she would be anything but a RINO.

Remember Reagan was a Democrat at one time too.

Sinema is closer to a Republican than some Republicans.

She has at least demonstrated she has a mind of her own and can’t be bullied.

So she teaches at Arizona State University, where the bathroom incident happened, and now is taking time off for a sporting event. Is there not enough work to do in the Senate?

Sinema is an opportunist who loves being a Senator. She will do what it takes to keep her seat., which she won with the same vote fraud scam that elected Biden

I've read that she voted with Trump 50.4% of the time which makes her at least fractionally a better Republican than Democrat.

Sinema, however, is facing a re-election problem.

In one of the rarest occurrences in politics, we had a candidate who ran to the left and then came to the center after elected. Usually it's the opposite. Candidates run as centrists and then swing to the left (never to the right). As such, she's earned a great deal of enmity from her fellow Democrats and they intend to primary her. Arizona Republicans, on the other hand, like her a lot. Nonetheless, when it comes time to vote, they'll vote for whoever has an (R) after their name regardless of their fondness towards Sinema.

Sinema needs to consider this. She will almost certainly get primaried, and failing that, will almost certainly lose against her Republican opponent as pissed off Dem voters seek to punish her insolence.

It might be politically advantageous for her to, perhaps switch parties, or become an independent who caucuses with the GOP. At least we get a Senator that votes 50/50 on our side (and often when it counts).

Sure, she'd be a RINO, joining the ranks of Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski. But the senate flips so there's that.

Plus, I'll give her credit where it's due. She is single-handedly obliterating Biden's agenda. If he can't get this done, and the Democrats lose the House next year, he's finished and will be remembered as the least consequential president in the past 100 years.
