Political ploy if she votes for schumer
Interesting change by Sinema.
I would love to have her explain it to me, off the record...
So there are, in fact, a few lefties who are based.
Changes nothing.
Very interesting news.
The Democrats have a new enemy to trash, just like they trash Musk. You can’t trust Democrats. They’re relentless.
Doesn’t change the Senate because she’ll caucus with the Dems. If Mancin goes independent and caucuses with Reps then it would help.. doubtful.
Amazed that people on our side still fall for this bogus stuff. She is just lining herself up to play the Manchin role in a state which just (in reality) elected Lake and Masters.
She will be a faithful voter for hating and destroying America, but she will do it playing a different Kabuki role, like Manchin.
Political Calculus.
The letter after the name means jack anymore.
She’s still Deep State’s.
So : 49 R’s, 48 D’s and 3 Independents. (with Sanders and King)
Yet the D’s control the chamber. Ugh.
Then she'll go on TV and say "I couldn't bring myself to vote for that Bill".
I guess Chuck You sniggered a bit too soon.
Sinema is, at heart, a liberal Democrat that is restrained from voting her true progressive sentiments by a voting population that is not wildly progressive. She made the political calculation that Independents in Arizona are a larger registrant constituency than either Democrats or Republicans. She gets to keep her Dem constituency and can pick up Republicans who are not averse to voting for a Dem with an I next to her name on the ballot as well as the large Independent constituency here.
but, there was a time when the rat party had idealists, had people that loved America, wanted to keep America great....
people of principal....
It’s certainly interesting that her state supposedly just elected 2 democrats, yet she has felt the constant need to distance herself from that party.
If she still caucuses with the Dems what difference does it make?
Couple of observations.
It is a result of the radicalism of the Democrat party, and specifically their border policies which are extreme.
And it certainly takes some polish off the media lie that the leftist Democrat party is such an obvious moral choice that everyone is flocking to it.
She will vote with Republicans when she needs to and that will be exactly when Traitor Joe Manchin will need to.
She has just put Manchin in a box he won’t get out of.
Instead of being the only Democrat/communist to vote with the Republicans WHEN THEY ARE CERTAIN TO LOSE ANYWAY, now Manchin will have to vote with the rodents.
None of that will make it easier for him to fool the rubes in West Virginia AGAIN when he quits the Senate to run for governor of West Virginia.
Sorry Joe but Sinema just checkmated you.
His vote will be just another Democrat/
Kyrsten Sinema is pretty far out there on the left, but I think maybe the Democrats have gone ‘a bridge too far’ for her. She also seems to be one of the few (damned few) that understands who or what, The Constitution says a senator is supposed to represent.
I doubt I could bring myself to pull the lever for her, but I do respect her more than most in Washington and especially her fellow Senators
