    She could have kept them if she just stayed with the party and kept acting the exact same way. The lesson here isn’t “don’t be a duplicitous piece of shit” it’s “be a duplicitous piece of shit as much as you want. As long as you maintain party affiliation, you’ll keep your donors.”

    A POLITICO analysis of her donors in recent cycles reveals her previous contributors are more loyal to the Democratic Party than they are to Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.

    I mean… Sinema isn’t loyal to anything but her own self interests. If she’s shocked establishment democrats aren’t going to support her after her fuckery, she’s dumber than she lets on.

    Sinema isn’t even that outlandish a politician in being a self serving piece of shit, she just seemingly never got the memo that you toe the party line and do your bullshit under the radar. She took a deal from the GOP who no longer has any use for her so of course she’s on her own

    I don’t understand her political journey in the slightest. I lived in Arizona at the time and voted for her. What the fuck happened?

      You voted for her without doing your homework. That’s what happened.

        Bullshit. She billed herself as a progressive, and had bonafides to match at the time. When she got into the Senate, she pivoted hard without warning to be “Mccain, lite,” even going so far as to emulate his iconic “thumbs down” vote on killing obamacare as he died of cancer. Her thumbs down was to defeat partially ending the senates fillibuster, killing a progressive cause instead. She was more regressive than McCain while aping him.

        It wasn’t a lack of research. She was just a snake hiding in the grass. Now shes out and hissing, and no one is going to keep her in their garden.
