The Right's Love Affair with Kyrsten Sinema and the Elephant in the Room

Many on the right are breathlessly talking about Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona as if she’s the next Ronald Reagan, fawning all over her, commenting on how beautiful she is and how they’d like to see her on a vice presidential ticket for president. It’s true she’s provided crucial assistance blocking radical leftist bills or watering them down. But overall, her voting record isn’t that much different than most Democrats.

In 2018, when she first ran for the U.S. Senate, her lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union in the House of Representatives was 13. It’s only gone up to 14.59 in 2020, and is lower than it was in 2013. Similarly, The Heritage Foundation’s lifetime ranking of Sinema is 9. The truth is, she has merely opposed her own party on a few high-profile bills. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has voted against the party far more often, 8%, compared to Sinema’s miniscule 2.8%. As of June 7, she voted with President Joe Biden 100% of the time.

Thinking that she may have a modicum of sensible does NOT equate to a "love affair". At least to civilians/non politicians. As for (s)elected politicians? Who can predict what they think anymore for the majority of them. Hopefully Mx. sinema will do what needs to be done.

Ahhmmm ....
She has declared as bi-sekxsual.
I imagine the majority of libs think that is sexy.
“Something for everybody.”

[Governor Dinwiddie]

In WWII America was allied with the Soviet Union. That doesn't mean we embraced their dogma.

As of late Sinema and Manchin have stepped in to help America where cucks like Collins and Murkowski did not. Would I trade Collins and Murkowski for Sinema and Manchin? Probably.

“Many on the right are breathlessly talking about Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona as if she's the next Ronald Reagan, fawning all over her, commenting on how beautiful she is…”

Huh? Tulsi is a truly physically-attractive Democrat, but Kyrsten is not.

[ConservativeMind]

This is like saying Beto is incredibly handsome.

He’s not.

[workerbee]

And with Gabbard. It’s disgusting.

[alstewartfan]

Kirsten only rates an 8 of 10 on the nut scale. True love indeed.

[alstewartfan]

Tulsi is a woman that many men might agree with, for a night.

The author, Rachael Alexander, is a bigger idiot than Sinema. Sinema is a dimocrat politician, simple as that. And all the scheming that goes along with dimocrats and politicians is what Sinema is all about. She’s using the dimocrat playbook against them to gain more power for herself.

[rktman]

Butt, some think he has kennedyesque hair so............ LOL!

I haven't met a single conservative who cares about her.

[marron]

Sinema, Manchin, Tulsi, are Democrats, but they aren’t part of the machine. And they have more guts than half the GOP.

Doesn’t mean I would vote for them. Doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten that Sinema got into office with a stolen election.

But I respect them for what they are. Think back to Sinema refusing to wear white with the rest of Dem witches at Trump’s state of the union, and being the only Dem to stand and applaud him while Pelosi scowled at her.

[TornadoAlley3]

No they are not.

Standard issue Rino Conservative Inc. Waste time and anergy attacking an enemey of our enemy instead of making any effort ever to attack the Deep State and the Democrat Marxist party on anything.

Townhall, NRO etc are the Deep States Faux Conservative media sites designed to prepetuate the illusion there is any oppostion media.

[copaliscrossing]

Absolutely correct! This is just ANOTHER example of the bubble the people that hang around Washington DC/Swamp are in. I'm sure the writer was making the point that she isn't "all that" but to insert "many on the right" simply to justify the writing of the story is absurd.

Who? I want names.

[rktman]

Well, I’m not doing any panting.

[Migraine]

There’s no love affair. We just find her useful. She’s my senator and so far has once or twice represented me well. That’s all.

[Republican Wildcat]

Really? Not me. Don’t trust her or Manchin as far as they could be thrown.

[Freedom56v2]

Who?

Probably the Controlled-Resistance CINO* media...
