In reply to the discussion: Did you know that Sinema had voted 50.4% of the time supporting Trump? [View all]bluewater
(5,376 posts)9. What stood out is Sinema was the ONLY Democrat who supported Trump MORE than expected
based on how well Trump did in their state.
Manchin, for example, also voted supporting Trump's positions 50.4% of the time, but THAT was about -39% LESS than 538's projections expected.
That's what makes Senator Sinema stand out so much from real moderate Democrats and even from Senator Manchin.

I predict she will face an unbeatable challenger in the primaries, will lose by a landslide.

I'll agree to disagree. Her and Manchin are not Dems they're extorsionists IMHO
