  - I think she has a semi-tough road even with Dems behind her perhaps. But she can sink any other Dem candidate if she chooses. -- nm - ty97 Dec 9, 10:15

  - How? Unless people you follow retweet it, which sounds like a problem with the people you follow. -- nm - spamlet Dec 9, 10:00 8

Someone should be using their influence to have Sinema offered a private sector job with an obscene salary so she doesn't run for a second term. - TWuG Dec 9, 09:02 22
- thanks for reminding me to think about this. so she's independent now. is the makeup if her district such that she can win as an I? or would she - judge amanda jones Dec 9, 09:04 21
  - She's an Arizona Senator. If she's run as an Ind, the Dems can either run against her and split the vote (R wins) or cede it to her to run as Ind. -- (edited) - ty97 Dec 9, 09:09 9
    - she has like 10% approval in the AZ Dem party. and the GOP still has to nominate someone more palatable than Sinema -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 9, 09:18 8
      - also doing it in a presidential turnout year, depending on the GOP nom, probably not ideal for ticket splitting shenanigans -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 9, 09:21 7
        
        Right, that's her gamble, that the Dems will get behind her as an Ind. -- nm - ty97 Dec 9, 09:23 6

        Our best hope is she doesn't run for for re-election. If she does, there are two main choices for the Dems: - ty97 Dec 9, 09:29 4
        
        the AZ GOP still has to not nominate a Blake Masters or Kari Lake opponent - hollywood big shot Dec 9, 09:37 3
        
        As bad as they were, they came with 4-5 points or closer of winning. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 09:52 1
        
        great, nominate Kari Lake and see how that works out for you -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 9, 09:56
        
        (and the prospect of thinking Sinema splits votes with Dems probably emboldens them to go harder right, esp if Trump is on the ballot) -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 9, 09:40
  - If Dems run a candidate, then the Dem vote is weakened by her run as an Ind, leading to a GOP pick up of the seat - TWuG Dec 9, 09:07 3
    - Bottom line, the only thing Sinema is in this for is herself, so get her a high paid gig and end the charade. -- nm - TWuG Dec 9, 09:09 2

  - one hypothesis floating around twitter is she specifically did do this to avoid a Dem challenger in 2024 which would split the vote and probably let a - decline Dec 9, 09:06 6
    - i think AZ Dems hatred of her is much more unifying than the odds that she won't draw votes from a Kari Lake style GOP nominee -- nm* - hollywood big shot Dec 9, 09:16
    - Say what you will about her, but that's a shrewd political move. -- nm - Dano Claus Dec 9, 09:10 3
      - Very shrewd. She's gross, but it's shrewd. -- nm - ty97 Dec 9, 09:11 2
