Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) put out a statement going after Sen. Krysten Sinema (D-AZ) after the senator announced Friday that she’d left the Democratic party to become an independent.
I would happily vote for Gallego; but he is going to have to become far better known across Arizona to have a chance at becoming Senator. Dems will have to begin now messaging his credibility; and he will have to become a far more familiar face in every county to make a successful run.
It might be that the Rs retake the Senate in 24, but if they do, I doubt Kyrsten Sinema will be the deciding candidate. In that case, let the Republican win. Fuck Sinema.
If she is the 50th or the 51st non-Republican, well I can live with her, since I don’t and never will live in Arizona.
I got a text message from his campaign this morning with the same message identified above. He’s working on fundraising, which is what it will take to raise his profile.
I can see forcing the issue. Let Arizonans decide if they’d rather have the republican and take the lump if that happens. Sinema needs to be gone from the Senate. Surprised she didn’t make the announcement wearing a chicken suit.
“Becoming an independent won’t change my work in the Senate,”
Which amounts to being a preening, self-loving and self-serving idiot who doesn’t give a shit about anyone but herself.
