Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is changing her party affiliation to independent, delivering a jolt to Democrats’ narrow majority and Washington along with it.

Now the democrats will have to bribe even more  Sinema and Manchin to get their vote.

Their vote for what? The House was already going to block any measure to help the USA or freedom generally. I'm sure Joe will still be able to stuff the judiciary with judges of a liberal bent.

Manchin is not winning again.

 

 

Either way it will be a Republican seat.

 

Probably true but probably a good idea to make the change now to try and convince voters to give him a 2nd chance.

 

But Sinema is still caucusing with the Dems, right?

Murkowski, Sinema and Manchin are basically all independent (by American standards).  
 

Sanders technically is, but only because he’s a socialist - he may be a pain to some Dems but he’ll never threaten to vote with R’s. 
 

Murkowski won’t flip because McConnell saved her in Alaska.  Without his money, she would’ve lost to a way more conservative challenger. 
 

Manchin is done in West Virginia.  Small chance to survive if he flips to R.  He ended his political career when he supported the Inflation Reduction Act.  He’ll lose to someone like Jim Justice next election.

Good for her.  Maybe we need more of this sort of thing.

Gee I am old enough to remember when Arizona politicians bucking their own party were celebrated by the Left and media.
