In a move long expected in political circles, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema announced this morning that she has left the Democratic Party and registered as an Independent. “I've registered as an Arizona independent. I know some people might be a little bit surprised by this but actually, I think it makes a lot of sense. A growing number of Arizonans and people like me just don't feel like we fit neatly into one party's box or the other.
Given how little legislatively is likely to come out of the senate after the first of the year, the moronic one is going to have very little impact, so screw her and the green bus she is on. She isn't going to be any use to the repugnantkins and they probably loathe her as much as the democrats do. She can't hurt the democrats in AZ, she has no power, they ought to look very closely at all of the ways that they can make life as difficult for her, as she has for them. Stop paying for her offices, travel, local staff etc, let the independents pay for it, it won't break her but it will get a lot of people's attention. The thing that bothers me the most, is that she will be getting a pension for her very few years in the senate that almost all Americans can only dream of. From the day she got to the senate she has been standing in the door, blocking the potential that our elections have made possible.
Another crazy opportunist was Tulsi Gabbard, who ran as a Democrat in Hawaii’s Second Congressional district, comprised of rural Oahu and the neighbor islands, a strong Democratic Party stronghold, with her toeing the party line and getting the votes. Except for Maui, which is infested with rich haoles from the Mainland, the rest of the the Second Congressional is heavily blue-collar with most people working for the hotel/hospitality industry, agricultural, and service workers, so it’s not surprising that Gabbard ran as a Dem. Then she got into office and went totally wacko…she got dropped like a handful of pahoehoe lava from Kilauea by the local Democratic Party and after she ran for President, her position has been taken by a more mainline Dem representative. Sinema is the same type of opportunist, a true DINO by her actions…good riddance and I hope she ends up as a one-termer, just like Gabbard.
"Cinema" is an opportunist for sure, and a snake. It will certainly be interesting to see if the democrats in AZ can do their work without showing their hand completely and keep her guessing. What a mess! If Sen. Warnock had lost, she might have held her powder until later, but his win meant her own stage presence was going to be weakened. Don't you just hate it?
Revolution” make strange bedfellows with Evangelicals who want to “fulfill the prophecy” by speeding up the end times. A global death wish solves nothing.
I figured you'd have something to say about this 😈 Didn't know about the history of the Greens' revolutionary relation to democracy, but always thought Sinema was a classic "bimbo", albeit a tad intelligent - just enough to know how to stab ya in the back. She wants to retain her committee assignments but as Independent, cake and eating it, too. But always ready for her close-up Mr deMille. Your 6th paragraph is quite unsettling.
Thanks for this assessment, TC. I just knew that you really couldn’t trust the Greens in any way, shape, or form. You’ve given me a good lesson as to why.

This was a excellent analysis that I’ve not heard from anywhere else.
I also learned a lot about the Green Party and history of Hitler’s rise I had not known.
Thank you!
That explains a lot. I don't tweet anymore or I would send this to MSNBC. She needs to be fully exposed.

Thanks for the exposé, though I have long suspected that she, like a lot of the others, are in it for their own glory, and to hell with governing.
I find it ironic that she claims not to want to be involved in political drama while creating political drama of the highest order.
Those who espouse “speeding the
Revolution” make strange bedfellows with Evangelicals who want to “fulfill the prophecy” by speeding up the end times. A global death wish solves nothing.

Sinema is nothing more than a self absorbed gold digger.

Damn, I thought she was just a bought Trojan horse. I am more “left” than most Dems, but I am a universe away from such insanity.
Oh. Damn.
Best essay I’ve read on this dreadful person. Thanks, TC.
TC, it's late. I am quiet of spirit and happy because my grandson is here and so inclined to be forgiving.
However, I had completely forgotten that Jill Stein ever existed, and now you have reminded me.
I don't know. This could be serious. Jill Stein. Oh, dear.
At first I winced when you used the word bimbo. By the end of the column I thought the word was a gentle dose of opprobrium.
