Ahhh, I see I'm not the only one who was flashing back to memories of Joseph Lieberman when I heard the news about #KyrstenSinema this morning. See the last 2 paragraphs: https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/happens-now-arizonas-kyrsten-sinema-no-longer-dem-rcna60916
Kyrsten Sinema switches from Democrat to independent. Here's what happens next.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema has switched from Democrat to independent, and there's no great mystery as to why.

@kagan Sinema is after one thing: money. She knows she has no future in politics & she's grabbing all the bribes she can while she still can get them.

@JaniceClaire15 I think she sees a future in politics as her only way to keep getting money, and I agree with the analysis that she thinks as an independent, she can get re-elected and hence keep that power and money.

@kagan

Genius at identifying her power. Scrabbling for residual leverage, finding it.
