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
        
        as this tweeter notes she wants to be a Murkowski but she doesn't live in Alaska -- (link) - hollywood big shot Dec 9, 09:28 5
        
        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
    - i think the same brain trust that was doomsdaying all the horror of a normal red wave midterm should probably slow their roll on predicting this 2 yrs - hollywood big shot Dec 9, 09:45 1
      - She's worthing getting out of the Senate regardless of chances in 2 years -- nm - TWuG Dec 9, 09:54
- 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
      - nah, she's a big dum dum and Schumer never should have backed her without a primary -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 9, 09:58
      - this -- nm - decline Dec 9, 09:14
  - That seems to be the consensus, as far as I’ve seen. - znufrii Dec 9, 09:07
