If the Dems retain majorities in Committees, then – FINE, Fuck off. Get out. Take a hike. Go jump in a lake. If this means committees will be split then FUCK YOU!!
“In a 45-minute interview, the first-term senator told POLITICO that she will not caucus with Republicans and suggested that she intends to vote the same way she has for four years in the Senate. ‘Nothing will change about my values or my behavior,’ she said.
“Provided that Sinema sticks to that vow, Democrats will still have a workable Senate majority in the next Congress, though it will not exactly be the neat and tidy 51 seats they assumed. They’re expected to also have the votes to control Senate committees. And Sinema’s move means Sen. JOE MANCHIN (D-W.Va.) — a pivotal swing vote in the 50-50 chamber the past two years — will hold onto some but not all of his outsized influence in the Democratic caucus.”
More details from the piece:
- On running for reelection in 2024: “Sinema wouldn’t entertain discussions of pursuing a second Senate term: ‘It’s fair to say that I’m not talking about it right now.’”
- On the Dems’ new majority: “‘I don’t anticipate that anything will change about the Senate structure,’ Sinema said, adding that some of the exact mechanics of how her switch affects the chamber is ‘a question for [Majority Leader] CHUCK SCHUMER.’”
We all knew this was coming, and we all knew it follow close on the heals of the 2022 election. Up next a newly empowered Manchin plays more stupid games to serve his environment hating and mass polluting masters. Gee, I hate the senate, wonder why?
Do they have recall in Arizona? Sinema is clearly–unwell.
She is up again in 2024. I don’t think any political odds makers chance give her a snowballs chance in Scottsdale.
I don’t think she can win; she can only run as a spoiler and deliver the seat to Republicans. Maybe she would accept an appointment to some high-paying but meaningless job, or an ambassadorship to somewhere remote.
She is such an insufferable piece of shit attention-seeking fraud. Fuck all the way outta here.
How did Arizona Dems not know her in 2018?
Sinema was endorsed early by the DSCC. Feckless turds. Never give to either DSCC OR DCCC. Chuck Shumer is an idiot.
Seconded.
