How Dare She?!?!?
PJM/ STEPHEN KRUISER
Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) has been spending her first nine-and-a-half months in office keeping a fairly low profile, working out hard, and — unlike so many Democratic newcomers to Capitol Hill — not throwing social media tantrums about President Trump.
That kind of professional behavior doesn’t really fly in Washington these days.
She rarely goes to party lunches and skipped Senate votes to run the Ironman. She endorsed a primary challenger against one of her own colleagues and hobnobs with Republicans at least as much as she does with her own caucus.
Kyrsten Sinema doesn’t really fit in with her fellow Senate Democrats. Don’t even ask her whether she watches the Democratic presidential debates.
“I’m not missing anything. I prefer happiness,” Sinema declares in a 25-minute interview, a rare extended conversation with an outlet not based in Arizona. “Look how happy I am.”
Politics have become so hyperpartisan and the Democrats so progressive that the article notes that Sinema’s “radical breed of centrism could be a headache for the party.”
The radicals are mainstream and the moderates are radical, got it?
I moved back to Arizona several months before Sinema was elected and I obviously didn’t vote for her, but have to say that I have been surprised by her so far, largely because she’s not a raging progressive. She’s an anomaly in a time when most Democrats are lurching so far leftward that they couldn’t find the center using GPS and Sherpa guides. read more
…well, she’s ALREADY better than “Songbird” McCain…

Compared to the other donkeys she seems quite reasonable. In fact, surprisingly reasonable. But she is still a donkey.
“radical breed of centrism”
!!
If she moves farther left, develops a wholly unwarranted ego, and crashes a couple of air force jets, she could be tne next John McCain.
Kind of off topic, but did you see this?

I predict that she’ll be a Republican by the time she’s 50.
I’d hit it.
Yes indeed, over and over.

“I predict that she’ll be a Republican by the time she’s 50.”
…what’s the old saying?
“If You Are Not a Liberal at 25, You Have No Heart. If You Are Not a Conservative at 35 You Have No Brain”
…she’s just a little slow, is all…
lib at 20 or no heart, con at 40 or no brain.
Rumored to be said by Churchill.
Damn my eyes I am beginning to like her
Be careful with Gabbard. She may have the same gripes we do about social media, but she also knows she has to tack to the center because she has to reach out to the R’s for votes. The others in the clown car won’t try that until after the nomination. She’s just trying to beat them to the punch. But after that? She’ll be back to the right of Bernie sanders.
A Western Diamondback is also very ‘moderate’.
Usually.
OK…she’s my Senator, but even though she’s a democRAT, she’s still more Republican that shitbird…I mean songbird mccain!
Really old news. She’s proved herself a Libtard Zombie currently.
Dont trust her. contrary to liberal thought a leopard cannot change its spots. Or sex. Or something like that
I thought she was going to be over the top when she was elected and I have to admit, she “appears” to be somewhat sane for a REgressive.
Time will tell but I’d bet my last donut Schumer could count on her to convict President Trump…over a phone call.
yeah
