Must be pretty bad in the Dem party for Sinema to leave. First Tulsi, now Sinema.

I suspect not only has the party gotten to extreme and full of hate, but in Sinema’s case her electorate clearly isn’t radical Dems so she doesn’t want to associate with radical Dems.

This is just a cheap re-election tactic for next year.

Not sure I follow. We are talking Arizona here.

Even Sinema recognizes the idiocy of the RATS…

I'm inclined to think that as well.

Kyrsten smart. Schumer will have to buy her vote from now on. As a loyal Democrat, Schumer would just ASSUME her vote was his when he needed it.

There were a whole bunch of articles in the political news about the significance of the Warnock win that are instantly obsolete.

This means less than nothing! She'll still be Chuck U's bitch!

No, you don't quit the Dem party days before the lame-duck vote-a-rama and then still vote with them every step of the way. This means that the Dems' lame-duck frenzy is pretty much dead, and Kamela is going to have to hang around as the tie-breaker on a regular basis the next two years.

It also could help nudge Manchin over the line.

There's no other way to view this, other than as a specific rejection of Chuck Schumer's leadership.

When Schumer was spending time on Manchen's houseboat, singing love songs and plying him with tender trillions, they forgot the girl. And she noticed.

Now, the MSM will spin it as the progressive attacks on her, but no, you don't quit a party that you own a part of because "Nutroots Attack!".

Nope this is on Schumer and I'll bet he is blowing a gasket knocking back Cutty Sarks and threatening empty chairs LOFL!!
