Senate Budget Committee chair Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Sunday pushed back at Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (D-AZ) blistering statement that called progressives’ success in delaying the vote for the bipartisan infrastructure bill “an ineffective stunt to gain leverage over a separate proposal.”
Well, she does know ineffective stunts…
Is Sinema secretly working for the NYT?
Sinema is going to lose on this one. She knows it, but she doesn’t know how to get out of it. All credit to Jayapal and the Progressive Caucus–they’re the ones driving now.
A matter class in selling both bills. He would not engage in bashing Manchin and Sinema. He pivoted to the benefits of both bills and emphasized the real impediment - Republicans.
Unprincipled low-level-psychopathic projection
not doing well on the secretly part
She’s a lightweight, trying to sound profound.
And when she disses progressives like that, she sounds anything but “moderate”.
What a silly stunt
Kyrsten Sinema’s intense adversarial & hostile approach toward the members of her own party and toward the basic platform of said party … really makes no sense … the Republicans will never embrace her … and the she is burning bridges in a way that will leave her on some weird island with a population of one.
Just a bad Sinema Show.
Desert Gidget is in waaayy over her head. And capabilities.
She thinks she’s a modern McCain without understanding how he managed to play the fulcrum as well as he did. Never agreed with his political beliefs, but he understood the axes of power better than most. She is a wild-eyed piker and squandering what good she could do in the Senate.
She’s already there
Sinema:
(1) I believe that Manchin would be Sinema’s best persuader.
(2) That aside…Sinema is an adversarial individual who has found a new box of toys.
(3) The flick Tin Cup reminds me of her…so she does have burn it all down capability
(4) Finally, if Manchin cannot be persuaded to sell her on acting like a grown-up, THEN almost manic flattering in her direction would be the best verbal approach to her…
“The Republican Party is bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical industry.""
So is Sinema.
Buddy of mine (from a land which I will not name) and I were in a popular resort while we were grad students and were suddenly and rudely accosted by one of the report’s employees while we were at a refreshment stand…
I looked at my friend, expecting the worst, and, to my surprise, I was treated to what I can only describe as the strongest rendition of flattery I have ever seen. After five minutes, the resort official provided us with free passes for the day.
(see my last post)
I wouldn’t disagree–or, at least, I’d absolutely agree that, if Manchin folds, he’ll persuade Sinema to do likewise.
Memo to Kyrsten Sinema: If it worked, then it ain’t ineffective.
Well this is awkward. A couple of immigrant kids telling Sinema they knocked on doors for her and need Build Back Better and they can get her out of office if she doesn’t help them. She runs away. Her feet seem fine btw.
Yeah, that is the part that bothers me. She could spoil the party just out of spite.
Trouble for her is she is NOT a Trumpie. She may be pissed at the Democratic caucus right now but the Trumpies will never welcome her, or vote for her in AZ. She is really in no man’s land, except maybe as a phuture pharma lobbyist.
