Kyrsten Sinema Says She Will Leave the Democratic Party The senator is registering as an independent, noting that she “never fit perfectly in either national party.” By Daniel Victor

I believe the correct breakdown is now 49, 49, 2. The 2 being declared independents

Sanders seems to me to be an IINO however

Hopefully more on the D side will wake up to their evil and do the same thing.

You'd think that Manchin could see what the woketards plans are for the coal industry and what that means to his constituents.

But of course, senators don't answer to constituents. They answer to whomever the deep state has deemed a most favored corporation.

It's soft fascism and it's getting harder faster than people realize.

[OKSooner]

Yes, agreed.

[pfflier]

Sinema has shown some spine in her decision making. She has bucked her own establishment.

I am willing to see how she plays this out because we have no better options right now anyway. Being a true independent could revolutionize American politics.

The only other thing I hope for is Manchin doing the same thing. He got burned playing along with schumer.

Funny how all the “independents” ALWAYS side with the Dems.

[Pigsley]

I live in AZ....always thought she is constantly running to be VP. Don’t trust her and don’t give a fig that she likes to have sex with women or men.

[paltz]

She did this so Ruben Gallego or another Dem couldn’t primary her.

[TexasGunLover]

Drama Queen. Just wants attention.

Did you say the same thing when Trump switched from Dem to Pub?

[Army Air Corps]

That, and I think that she wants to avoid losing in the primary.

[Reily]

I don’t see how this improves her re-election calculation .

Ok she doesn’t do the Rat primary in Arizona, but a Rat is picked to run in the Rat primary. Won’t that make it a 3 way race in the general election - her, the Rat primary winner & the GOP primary winner? It seems to me that would split the Rat vote likely giving the GOP’er the win! What am I missing?

[Army Air Corps]

True enough. She may be thinking about being able to have a fat wad of PAC money all to herself.

[LachlanMinnesota]

I would think others will do the same, but does it really matter if they continue to vote as they have before?

I think it is a way to try to avoid the backlash against Dems, but they will be unlikely to have a change of heart.

...except for her left leg - AND one finger...

[stylin19a]

Breakdown is 48-49-3 king and bernie caucus with the RATs and no word yet where Krysten will caucus.

Does an independent have the luxury of not caucusing with anybody ?

[DarthVader]

Yes

[stylin19a]

thanx.
she's gunna get wined & dined a lot...

maybe the 3 indies can caucus by themselves and wreck havoc in the senate.
Course, that give the Repubs a plurality so it probably wont happen.

[DarthVader]

I’m not so sure this is purely political due to somethings going on now. But under normal circumstances I fully concur with you!
