Kyrsten Sinema's Messy Breakup With the Democrats Is Complete
PJ Media ^ | 23 Mar 2023 | Stephen Kruiser

Posted on 03/24/2023 2:08:55 PM PDT by Rummyfan

When Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) left the Democratic party last December and registered as an independent, it didn’t seem to be a parting of the ways that was filled with acrimony. She struck a deal to keep her committee assignments and maintain a loose relationship with the Senate Democrats, so it almost seemed as if nothing had changed but the party affiliation letter in the media that came after her name.

United States senators tend to be collegial a lot of the time, so none of that was surprising. Back here in Arizona, however, things were playing out much differently.

The people in charge of the Democratic party in Arizona loathe Sinema. It wasn’t the very public policy disagreements that she was occasionally having with her colleagues in the Senate that initially fueled Sinema’s party switch, it was the ugliness at home. Despite the fact that Sinema is still a die-hard leftist on most issues, you had a much better chance of finding a Republican here who would say something nice about her by the time Christmas rolled around last year.

Judging from an article that my friend and colleague Stephen Green passed along to me, it would now appear that the relationship between Sinema and Democrats has soured all around.

She still caucuses with them. When she caucuses with the GOP, that will be the final breakup.

She’s a fraud (although not bad looking). She caucuses with them, votes like them, and believes the same things they do. The fact that she’s an “Independent” is just a charade to get dumb Republicans to think she’s somewhat conservative because she was going to be primaried as a Democrat. (See Joe Lieberman).

She’s still caucusing and voting with the Rats, so how is her so-called breakup complete?

Sinema commented recently that she wouldn’t be attending anymore Democrat caucus lunches, which she said were dominated by ‘old people eating jello’ and bragging about their accomplishments. 😀

Don’t care about caucus, only how she votes and she swings both ways.

Divorce. Nobody answered who gets the “kids”——Fauci, Hunter, AOC, Newsom, Maxine, Schiff.... They can be a handful when let out of reform schools and juvenile lockups.

That remark is rude, but it’s also very funny.
I can imagine a Stand Up Comic using that line for a laugh.
Everyone can create that mind picture.

Bernie technically isn’t a democrat either it doesn’t mean much if you still vote for the same stupid bills with an (I) next your name instead of a (D).

“… and she swings both ways.”

Yes, we know.

But the subject is her voting record.

It kinda seems like she is going both ways, if you know what I mean....

Come on people. She runs again as an independent and the seat is ours right? 3 way race. Would she really do that?

That’s what’s in it for us-not counting on it.

Same for the meatball Angus King (I) Maine. Useless as teats on a boar.
