15. In the Senate she has voted with Trump 52.8% of the time, only Manchin (52.9%) is higher

All the higher score (barely) Dems (only 2) lost, as did the next two with a lower score.

Doug Jones, in ALABAMA voted with Trump a LOT less %-wise than she did, you would basically have to increase his score by 50% to hit her numbers.

So, she has very little chance of being named VP, the left 2/3rds of the Party would not be happy at all (obviously some more than others.) And we would lose the Senate seat on top of it, of course.

They won't want to lose the seat. roamer65 May 2020 #1

IMO, Sinema's own unpredictability makes her not a good choice. elleng May 2020 #2
