If you see a Democrat like this go on tv and just destroy a Republican take a moment and thank them

If you see a Democrat like this go on tv and just destroy a Republican take a moment and thank them by giving them a follow and retweet. This is @MariaTCardona and she humiliated Scott Jennings. He deserved every moment of it.

[McConnell] Calls her "the most effective first-term senator I've seen in my time in the Senate"

Right now, Sen. McConnell is introducing Sen. Sinema ahead of her speech at U of Louisville

Calls her "the most effective first-term senator I've seen in my time in the Senate"

Sinema speaking now about her friendship with McConnell—she says based in “our pragmatic approach to legislating, respect for the Senate, love for our home states, and dogged determination on behalf of our constituents”

After McConnell suggests Sinema saved Senate for opposing filibuster change, Sinema calls 60-vote threshold a "guardrail" ... and "a tool that requires new federal policy to be broadly supported by senators, representing a broader cross-section of Americans"

Sinema: "If you don't fit in today’s Washington, trust me, they want to kick you out. But I've never really wanted to fit in, in Washington or anywhere else."

Interesting: Sinema calls for restoring 60-vote threshold for *everything* in the Senate—nominations included

Sinema says her top remaining priority is immigration reform—says she'll reach out to Cornyn post-election

Her goal: "bringing in good people who want to be a part of this country... and also to ensure that we actually have security on our border. Right now, we do not."
