It’s a given that Senators like attention. But Kyrsten Sinema possesses a whole other level of need.
@StevenBeschloss Oh, the outfits she wears on the Senate floor didn't give you the first hint? 😳
@StevenBeschloss Her need for attention is downright Trumpian.
@StevenBeschloss at first I was really upset when I read about this, but then I realized she’s been an #independent all along, pretending to be #democrat when it was a good look for her.
@StevenBeschloss She’s getting trounced in future primaries and she knows it.
@StevenBeschloss She should also leave Arizona because her career will be over even if she cannot be primaried..

@BeenThere @StevenBeschloss

She's going to become a lobbiest, just another corrupt money grubber.

@StevenBeschloss yes she does! I feel pretty bad for the people who voted for her.
@StevenBeschloss did anyone expect her to be a Democrat for long? She obviously never really was. #maskoff
@StevenBeschloss I don’t think this is going to turn out like she hopes. She tying her kite to oblivion.
@StevenBeschloss Arizona….are you paying attention?
@StevenBeschloss quite amazing that need. I hope it’s rewarded appropriately.
@StevenBeschloss I personally believe it’s only about MONEY. Her vote on anything is up to the highest bidder. She doesn’t care about people or the country, ONLY MONEY!
@StevenBeschloss Joe Manchin is outraged. Lol.
What’s Kyrsten Sinema Up To? It’s Pretty Obvious.

Both allies and enemies say her time in the Arizona state Legislature showcased a commitment to personal ambition over party loyalty.

@StevenBeschloss

Ah, the troll pretending to be a senator. Everything is performance art to that one.

Maybe Blake Masters should run against her next time, 'cause I won't vote for either one of them.

@StevenBeschloss I know the Senator and this move doesn’t surprise me. The Democratic Party in AZ is moving further to the left and the Republican Party has gone off the rails. In another cycle independents will be the largest block of voters in Arizona. Arizona is a moderate center right state. Conservatives did well here in 2022 - as long as they weren’t election denying wing nuts. I don’t know how this will play out for her, but I suspect it will start a trend nationally.
@StevenBeschloss one more thing. Arizona sent Gosar, Biggs and Lesko back to Congress. AZ isn’t “blue,” it’s a reddish shade of purple.
@michaelschiller @StevenBeschloss And yet people to Sinema’s left keep winning statewide office.
@alex_galt @StevenBeschloss Only against election deniers and GOP wingnuts.
@michaelschiller @StevenBeschloss And Mark Kelly? I get it, you’re some kind of Sinema partisan. I don’t envy you.
@StevenBeschloss like a little kid trying to dance in the spotlight
@StevenBeschloss
How do you think this will impact the Dem majority in the Senate?
Will she caucus with the Dems like Bernie?
Will she vote for Schumer?
@StevenBeschloss Folks should send her some bedazzlers. She's gonna need them when she's back to working at her local mall.
@StevenBeschloss Her childish desperation for attention is staggering.
@StevenBeschloss
She is an olde English morality cautionary tale- princess is the ogress.
@StevenBeschloss I suppose she felt neither party was pro corporate enough so she had to peel off to show she stands with private equity, Wall Street, Big Pharma and all big business. Someone has to protect the interests of giant conglomerates and preserve the billions of dollars corporate profit against the working class voters who greedily want a minimum wage increase (that doesn’t match inflation)and affordable medicine. 🫡
@StevenBeschloss Yes, we need a strong Democrat who cares about values more than herself. She is no McCain. I look forward to voting for her replacement.
@StevenBeschloss Too bad she's not desperate for the approval of Democrats
