Sinema for President in 2024

[Desert Dog]

Stick with me on this...

So she announces change to independent and avoids Democratic primary. Note that AZ registration numbers are @ 33% GOP, 31% Ind and 26% Democrat. So essentially, she traded 26% for 31% with the knowledge that she was despised by Democrats for the greatest political sell out in the history of American politics.

She COULD run for Senate in 24 and wreak havoc in the general. Note that AZ does not have +50% runoff.. So Dems nominate Gallego. GOP nominates Lake or Ducey. I still think we can win that as Sinema will perform exceptionally bad and get way less independent votes than she could have imagined. Lake is toxic as she now has a defining characteristic - sore loser. Ducey might be tough. Democrats might even do better with House member and former Phoenix mayor Greg Stanton instead of Ruben. If the goal is independent appeal and countering Lake, Stanton might have it.

The question is.. Is Sinema trying to win elections or screw Democrats? Would she march into senate race as independent if she was polling bad? Her losing by 30pt would kill her political career and embarrass her. Would she do this just for the chance to screw Democrats? AZ Dems will run someone for Senate. No way they bow out for traitor Sinema.

Which brings me to my thread title. Is she running for president? Should we be flooding her email encouraging her to run for Pres? Her ego is big enough. Could she be tired of state politics and crave national race? You KNOW she wants more TV time. She can't run for Senate and President. How would she hurt us the least in 2024? How does she run for president with no constituency and no organization? Even with corporate money, she is poor compared to more entrenched politicians.

I say we encourage her for pres race and talk it up. She will not be able to resist jumping in. Let's play her like she played us.

1. No she can run for President and for her seat in Arizona...I fail to see how that helps us.

2. No, JUst No

Tired of her self serving little show, I hope the voters curtsy her way out of government

3. McCain ran for both. I'm sure she can too.

4. A lot of Republicans like Sinema.

If she ran as an "Independent", she would garner more Republicans, more Independents, and maintain much of her Democratic base, in my opinion. Thus making her a stronger candidate as an Independent.

Just my opinion.

8. She's lost the great majority of her base

Last poll I saw was around 25 percent of Dems support her. Not only do most oppose her, but they hate what she has done. She doesn't appeal to repubs either. Lake voters aren't going to like her positions. And indies go back and forth.

6. Chuckle snort.

Or is it chortle?

Because that is the exactly sound I made reading this thread title.

9. No. Just no.

10. I don't think she gives a flying F if she's re-elected.

She's gotten huge money from repug oligarchs and they paid for this change. No one will vote for her now, Independents will see that she's only in it for the money and Dems nor Repugs will vote for her. Her traitorousness will ensure that she is out of office, whether she runs or not. Not running at all would be the good thing, so she won't do that. She's too full of herself and wants more money from the oligarchs before she starts destroying us. That is all she cares about, getting more $$$$.

11. she wouldn't even be considered a rino by the maga "base"......

She would likely have to run as a republican, meaning winning the primary as a pro-choice, bisexual woman with a deeply non-conservative background.

She is only being courted because of the disruptive effects.

The gop would never trust her as potus, and only like her in the senate because she is frustrating the progressive/biden agenda. But she is still voting with the dems on most mainstream issues (I'm not defending her, just looking at her with maga glasses on).

So no, I don't think there is any great love for her beyond her anti-biden stands.

12. Your post pretty much mirrors an article I read about her, long ago.

I might have to go search for that.

13. So 10% are unregistered?

Numbers total 90%.
