Bad news! Nothing about Kyrsten Sinema will change.

Bad news! Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (newly minted I-Ariz.) reports that she is going to continue behaving in exactly the same way and having exactly the same values.
Anyone concerned that this new swerve toward independence would make her any less the human version of an eviction notice written in glitter gel pen can relax. Sinema will continue to serve up exactly the same quirks that we have come to know and know, from her time as a Democratic senator.
From voting against raising the minimum wage with a cutesy thumbs-down, to impeding legislation to close corporate tax loopholes for unclear reasons, to generally waltzing through the Senate with her signature brand of cheese-grater-to-the-eardrum whimsy, we can expect more of the same! No longer being a Democrat will, in fact, alter nothing about her (this should come as a surprise, but less of a surprise than you wish it would).
On the one hand, it is a relief that she does not plan to concoct new, different ways of being awful: deciding that, for instance, that we actually need a second, bonus filibuster, or forging an even tighter bond with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). On the other hand, it could be more of a relief.
Sinema will continue to be the self-crowned protagonist of the Senate, an AIM away status with really deep song lyrics in it that you probably wouldnt really get. She is still a party of one, just as rAnDom as ever, and now everyone gets to celebrate that fact! Get excited to pay attention to her and her constantly surprising wants or rather, to continue paying attention to them in exactly the same way! You have a broadly popular policy idea that will benefit her constituents? Shell support it maybe!

(7,851 posts)5. I thought "Krysten Sinema Fucked the Dems"
was maybe a three day story before it devolved into a Herman's Hermits refrain..''second verse same of the first"...I was wrong..36 hours hours from OMG Sinema to STFU Sinema...impressive..Sinema is a back-stabbing middle school mean girl morphed into Disney character Cruella di Vil...or maybe it's the other way around...
