Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's (I-Ariz.) decision not to seek re-election has dealt the latest in a series of crushing blows to Senate bipartisanship, hollowing out a centrist core that has suffered under years of intensifying polarization.

I think the Senate will be a bit Conservative with two retirements and if we can flip Ohio and Montana, we might get some things going...
Centrist is the new pronoun for liar.
Sinema and Manchin are no centrists.

Romney was a moderate?

Sinema pleasantly surprised me once or twice. The two men were annoying all the time, until now.
Sinema is the only one worth saving. Romney is a rino of the highest level.
I give Sinema credit for leaving the Dem party. Romney should have left the GOP if he were honest.

*There will be a big fat b@stard from Maryland to take Romney’s place at least so it’s a wash.*
Let’s hope so. You got anything better?
As for Sienma she surprised me. The campaign declared her a communist.
Too much free speech going on out there?
Right?
