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.
Gotta respect this...I may not agree with her often, but she’s showing she has a mind of her own, and it’s rare for a lefty to leave the reservation at this level. Hope were not getting played...
But she’s still Deep State’s.
Good for her! Hopefully, she’ll side with Republicans, at least part of the time.
In a just world, independents would not be counted on either side, and the balance of power would reflect that.
Great move, young lady of courage...Senator, Kyrstem Sinema, of Arizona!!! You just have destroyed the last two years of of the Joe Biden POTUS. If Manchin shifts to GOP, useless Democrat fake POTUS is dead in the water..AMEN...Thank God Almighty!!!
Does this make the Republicans the majority party in the Senate between now and January?
I expect Manchin to switch parties before the next Congress.
Hopefully, now that she went Indy she won’t turn into a Bolshevik Bernie clone.
Just yesterday, Schuck patted himself so hard on the back promising relentless invests into climate garbage, garbage garbage, and this high-heeled fruitcake just kicked him right in the jimmies!
Now with 2 incapacitated Democrats: Fetterman and Feinswine, good luck even getting a Democrat quorum call you old schnorrer. LOFL!
What it might mean is that she intends to challenge Joe Biden for the presidency.
This is all smoke and mirrors. The RATS know Sinema’s seat is heavily contested. Becoming an “independent” gives her cover with “independent” voters that will tip the scales, provided that vote stealing isn’t enough. Sinema doesn’t have the courage to make a move like this on her own. Just more RAT stratgery by Schmucky and the crew in the Senate. Who was the last RAT politician that could be trusted at their word? Yeah, can’t think of too many either.
She will still vote Rat.
Democrats say, “Nothing to see here!”
Swamp drama - bump for later....
Sounds like she takes “and to the Republic, for which it stands” more seriously than any other senator in her (former) party...
Hsa she indicated what party she will caucus with? That’ would bring it to a 50-50 Senate, then if she chose Republican. Look for great accommodations and funding made for Arizona by the Biden administration
If she would join the republicans, she would have a good chance at reelection if they would endorse her as the 2024 republican nominee. Otherwise, I expect the current Governor to file for the Republican nomination and be the favorite to win the seat.
“Sen. Kyrsten Sinema Leaves Democrats, Slams Party, Registers as Independent”
“Slams party” Yeah right, she is still going to caucus with the rats so it is nothing but a self serving move that protects her in the Primary.
How will she vote?
