Apropos of nothing: for what % of humans are their front teeth larger than their irises by area? I would guess less than 1%. Now if only she had a diastema, we could make that taco floating meme without her mouth being open.
I don’t think that if she switched parties she would necessarily lose if it’s a climate where Republicans have a wave election because the right wing electorate is so tribal that as long as you have an R by your name, you’ll have a good shot in a purple state. Hershal Walker paid for abortions and still came fairly close to beating a good Dem candidate. The R electorate mostly only cares about power. It’s really just up to how much Sinema truly cares about her own values and her personal life as a bisexual and someone who used to be a left wing activist. Still power and narcissism are intoxicating drugs as we see with Tulsi Gabbard who was a Bernie progressive and now is a FoxNews host. Sinema took a gamble as a Manchin type of Democrat and lost that bet because Arizona is not West Virginia. If she’s as narcissistic as Gabbard I wouldn’t be shocked one bit if she switches parties and tries to represent her personal sexuality like the way that Kaitlin Jenner does to a MAGA base. The MAGA base loves these people like Jenner, Kanye, Walker, etc. who debase themselves and self own in order to serve the MAGA base. The MAGA base loves it… but there is an independent slim amount of voters that sees beyond it and doesn’t vote for Hershel Walker types or doesn’t show up. So I do think Sinema could win if she switches parties but it would need to be a bit of a wave election. Is Sinema going to take that gamble??? If she was smart (I don’t think she is) she’d bow out next Summer and take a lobbyist job in corporate America with her donors companies. You’ve already sold your soul so you might as well go make some money out of it. Your political career is basically over unless you luck out as a turn to the dark side Gabbard Republican. If she switches parties I think she hurts the Democrats now but helps them in 24. She’ll be a much easier Hershel Walker type of candidate to beat than a competent Glenn Younkin type the Republicans will probably try to run.
I agree. Simena wants her next career to be a lobbyist starting 2025. I do not know who on The Hill would pick up the phone, when she called ... but money always talks ... so someone will pick up the phone. Semina is likely less Reptilian than most lobbyists, so she has that.
I don't see Cinnemon lasting beyond a Republican primary. They don't like corporate shills either...have to lay on the kray first to look "authentic" (folksy?), then backdoor the dark money later. She would just be a paid-for RINO, who'd be 99% likely to vote for killin more babies... She isn't too bad on the whole in terms of reducing bipartisan tensions, but she has to pay for being a spoiler for Biden's legislative window.
Sinema is a bisexual woman who voted to remove Trump from office two times. She has less than zero chance of winning a Republican primary.
The Trump impeachment votes are a problem unless he winds up in jail ... but as long she hates herself for being bi-sexual she is probably good with the Rs.
Sinema ain’t winning ****. She will easily get primaried by the Dems. The GOP only runs MAGA/pro-Trump candidates for the highest offices. The only question is does she have enough support (signatures) to get on the ballot as an Independent. If she does, does the seat go red? No Republican is voting for Sinema.
She’d almost surely get primary challenges from the right flank. How much do you want to bet that everyone from McConnell to Rupert Murdoch have reached out to her to let her know if she switches parties they’ll make sure she wins her primary? Can they guarantee it… no, but they can make sure she has a bankroll that rivals a presidential candidate.
You might be surprised. She’s not Tulsi Gabbard yet but she’s not that far off where if Tulsi Gabbard ran as an independent at this point she’d actually pull more R voters than she would D. I’ve heard many of my R friends say how much they like Sinema and Manchin because in their mind they’ve helped stop the Libs from destroying America with The Green New Deal etc. FoxNews talks very highly of them and they have more support than one might think. If Sinema does run as an I, and she does have to appeal to the R a bit more, Dems might thank her for pulling more votes from a Keri Lake type. Dem voters are smarter than you might think and very few imo would defect to Sinema to show some level of moderation.
My guess is that based on the joy from conservative leaning posters on this board and in the media, Republicans will definitely vote for her to really stick it to the liberals. Right leaning voters seem more prone to vengeful voting.
Looks like her true motivation has been exposed.. selling out to - the lure of moving lots of used clothing on Facebook Marketplace? https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/12/kyrsten-sinema-facebook-marketplace-senate.html
now see, Sam Brinton could have saved themself a lot of trouble and two felony charges by just buying clothes from Sinema
Sinema Trashes Dems: ‘Old Dudes Eating Jell-O’' Ever since Sen. Kyrsten Sinema became an independent in December, her Democratic colleagues have been restrained about the shift, careful not to alienate the Arizona lawmaker when they only have a single-seat majority and need her support on legislation and nominees. Hoping to get through this year, and then gain clarity about whether Sinema will even seek reelection in 2024 let alone continue to caucus with her old party, Senate Democrats have dodged questions about the mercurial marathoner who’s still barely in their ranks. “It’s really early,” Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), who chairs the Senate Democratic campaign arm, told me. “I don’t know what she’s planning on doing.” But Sinema may be making the Democrats’ deliberations easier. As she races to stockpile campaign money and post an impressive, statement-making first-quarter fundraising number, Sinema has used a series of Republican-dominated receptions and retreats this year to belittle her Democratic colleagues, shower her GOP allies with praise and, in one case, quite literally give the middle finger to President Joe Biden’s White House. And that’s before an audience. Speaking in private, whether one-on-one or with small groups of Republican senators, she’s even more cutting, particularly about Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, whom she derides in harshly critical terms, according to senior Republican officials directly familiar with her comments. Sinema’s sniping spree has delighted the Republican lawmakers, lobbyists and donors who’ve taken in the show, giving some of them hope that she can be convinced to caucus with the GOP, either in this Congress or in the case she’s reelected as an independent. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who Sinema has assiduously courted, remains skeptical, however. Believing she remains a Democrat at heart, McConnell has focused on trying to recruit a non-controversial Arizona Republican into the race, somebody who could attract the moderate GOP voters and independents Sinema would need to win the purple state as an independent. It’s entirely possible, however, that such a Republican doesn’t run or can’t clear a primary in Arizona’s MAGA-fied state party. Former Gov. Doug Ducey has made clear he’s not interested, first-term Rep. Juan Ciscomani is likely to accrue more House seniority, and the most attainable option, Karrin Taylor Robson, just lost the gubernatorial primary to Kari Lake. With near-total name identification among Arizona Republicans and the affection of one Donald J. Trump, Lake would enter the Senate race as the odds-on favorite to be the GOP nominee.
