Shorter Kyrsten Sinema: Hey Georgia voters and Chuck Schumer. Do you think you are taking away my leverage, media coverage and ability to be the center of all big legislation (And my appeal to my rich donors…)? Well, I got something for you!

Sinema faced a potential primary challenge in 2024
Heck of a party.
Thanks for working this morning.

This is Krysten Sinema avoiding the sore loser law in AZ by avoiding the Democratic primary or any primary altogether
If she runs as independent I think Republicans could win.
It’s a game of chicken

Who is whispering in this woman’s ear? The same people advising Pence? Or maybe they’re listening to their own voices.

Tuesday night I turned to my wife and said, “I bet Sinema declares herself an independent so she can grab the spotlight.”
Deep cynicism is just realism. Assume the worst from people like Sinema, who has done an excellent job of revealing who she is, and you’ll never be surprised.

sinema must have been disappointed in Warnock’s victory, it cost her the opportunity to promote a bidding war for her ‘loyal party affiliation’. I’m sure the r’s would have paid highly for a 51st seat.

Democrats have a lot of Senate seats to defend in 2024. They are likely to lose the Senate with or without Arizona. They would be better off nominating a loyal Democrat and running their best race in Arizona, and not giving much concern at all to the impact of Sinema running as an independent.

First time in 80 years the presidents party didn’t lose any incumbents. We even added a Senator. Her own state went Blue, which is a big deal
She wanted her name as a historical note.
Vain POS

Sinema fell in love with being wooed now that the Democrats have a clear majority her role has diminished. This move isn’t about Arizona, it is about her.

Sure they have a lot more seats to defend, but only Manchin is in real danger. Tester and Brown are in tough seats but well established in their states.
2024 was a hold, or down to 50/50.
Sinima is why the senate will be threatened

I have been worried (more than usual) about Sinema ever since she showed up as a speaker at some Yertle-sponsored event some time ago, all smiley faced with that ratbastard. I figured she’d been bribed by the Big Business donors she’s been waltzing with and Yertle’s promises of committee memberships or whatever to jump ship and give McConnell control.
I was TERRIFIED that Warnock would lose for exactly that reason.
Thank FSM the damage she can cause is somewhat limited.
I am so furious right now, I think my blood pressure is through the roof.

Sinema is a lowlife. Time to destroy her.

Hmmmmm…if that is true (I assume it is), does that give Schumer (or chairs) at least some ability to rein her in / muzzle her a bit by taking her off any committees?

Sinema explores the depths of odious behavior. How her former supporters will react against this fuckery remains to be seen.

This means Sinema is finished in two years. Good riddance to this pathological narcissist.
