Would you trade a Sinema "yes" on Judge Jackson for a "no-primary" promise?

1. Hell no.

[WarGamer]

2. BTW, Collins, Graham and Murkowski ALL voted YES for Judge Jackson.

The DEMS don't need Sinema OR Manchin.

I predict at least 53 YES votes.

[Celerity]

6. that went into my calculations to a degree (although i do NOT trust any Rethug)

[AZProgressive]

3. I'm a voter in Arizona

Voting for a primary challenger either way. It is not just BBB or voting rights. She has a long history of having one of the more conservative voting records for a Democrat in Congress ever since she won her first primary.

Under Trump she voted to confirm Kavanaugh which I still haven’t forgotten.

4. why would we trade anything with Sinema on a Judge Jackson vote?

Sinema voted for her to a lower court position, as well as three Republicans.

[WarGamer]

5. Which is why I called it hypothetical... and my post above also notes Graham, Murkowski and Collins

[rogue emissary]

8. So why the inquiry?

[WarGamer]

10. It fleshes out the cost people would be willing to pay for a SCOTUS nom...

Hypothetically, of course...

Kind of like... if you won the PowerBall... how much would you give to your in-laws?

[rogue emissary]

12. Okay.

If she had voted against her previously, I could see her having some leverage.

Now, I foreseen Graham is a no-vote as he completely doesn't mind being called a hypocrite or flip-flopper.

[WarGamer]

14. I think Mitch will have multiple defections...

Because knowing that Judge Jackson is an easy-yes... you'll have several GOP'ers voting YES.

[rogue emissary]

17. I think it's going to be a party line vote.

[Nevilledog]

7. I voted yes. But I'd be lying about it to her.

[WarGamer]

9. +1000 nt

[Celerity]

29. lolol

[ecstatic]

11. We need voting rights too

That's actually more important.

[Wounded Bear]

13. No, she should be proud to vote to confirm Justice Jackson...

[brush]

15. No, she's getting primaried however she votes on the...

SCOTUS justice. She's finished in '24.

[brooklynite]

16. I'm not convinced a trade is needed; Sinema is a reliable vote on Biden's nominations...

[WarGamer]

24. see post #2

I agree

[Meowmee]

18. For people who haven't realized it yet

She is not trustworthy

[Mike Nelson]

19. I think...

... she will vote "Yes" for the Justice. Still, if someone wants to run against her in the Democratic primary, they should run. Hopefully, voters will pick the best winning candidate!

[BlueIdaho]

20. I know this is a hypothetical

But you don’t really think Sinema would keep her word on a deal like that? I don’t.

[48656c6c6f20]

21. Would you trade a Sinema "yes". no further discussion needed.

[Takket]

22. nope. she's a bought and paid for hack that betrayed her voters and her country

she can fuck all the way off

[Kingofalldems]

23. DU can't make that trade so I don't get your point.

[WarGamer]

25. HYPOTHETICAL...

[Kingofalldems]

26. No, repost this is the Lounge.

[WarGamer]

27. because threads about furries and a Zen Buddhist teacher are more in line with "General Discussion"?

[Celerity]

30. lolol

[Celerity]

32. posting this in the Lounge would be against TOS

28. so would that be a trade or a bribe?...

and who exactly would make that "offer"?...the Arizona Democratic Party censured her, NARAL pulled their endorsement and Emily's List says no more money...if she runs again she will certainly be primaried and lose. if she "switches" to the dark side, Mitch will welcome her with open arms and then instruct her to shut up and sit down, effectively muzzling her...if she runs as an Independent she'll lose...her political career is over...but if she has any hope of resurrecting something resembling integrity, Sinema can claim to see the light, vote yes on the SCOTUS pick, agree to get rid of the filibuster, compromise in good faith on BBB, all this as a "mea culpa, please forgive me, give me a chance to make up for my transgressions" (considering her lack of cognitive awareness and her pathological self absorption that's not going to happen) ...or she obstructs down the line because she's got nothing to lose and she's found her way to a cushy seat on some Republican donor's board...

[Hekate]

36. +1

[iemanja]

31. How have you already decided who Biden will nominate?

Has he told you?
These posts are absurd.

[Hekate]

37. +100

[brewens]

33. Of course. Then once we get our justice, and as late as possible to be successful, we pull a

"Sinema" and primary her anyway!

[Voltaire2]

34. Sure. Then stab her in the back.

[Hekate]

35. Sounds too much like bribery to me, & bribery is illegal. nt
