63. How exactly is the possible? Biden has not been president for even a year...and the only thing
Sun Oct 3, 2021, 09:42 AM
Oct 2021

Trump ever got legislation-wise was the tax cut for the wealthy. And she voted no on that. She did vote yes to keep tax cuts as did other Democrats...this game playing with statistics. And she votes way more with us than a Republican replacement would. And Arizona will not elect a progressive. Sinema voted yes on the rescue package...so I call BS on this.

Obviously some very deep pockets got her attention. She better fucking raise the debt ceiling. Eliot Rosewater Oct 2021 #1
So far, Sinema has voted in favor of President Biden's positions... bluewater Oct 2021 #3
Do you know what this latest temper tantrum is about? Irish_Dem Oct 2021 #8
Do I know the real reason for the outburst? No. bluewater Oct 2021 #11
Maybe she is angry that some of her power got taken away yesterday. Irish_Dem Oct 2021 #13
She is upset because Biden made it clear: mn9driver Oct 2021 #49
Biden found her Achilles heel and pressed hard. Good for him. Irish_Dem Oct 2021 #55
Her signature bill is on hold AZSkiffyGeek Oct 2021 #29
OK thanks. Got it. Wouldn't a mature politician take this in stride? Irish_Dem Oct 2021 #32
Well, yeah AZSkiffyGeek Oct 2021 #33
Right, I wonder if she listens to her PR team, or thinks she knows better than they do. Irish_Dem Oct 2021 #34
I wonder if she even has a PR team AZSkiffyGeek Oct 2021 #36
She has staff who help manage her image and have an eye on re-election, etc. Irish_Dem Oct 2021 #39
They seem to try and deflect AZSkiffyGeek Oct 2021 #40
Narcissists have poor social awareness, can't stand criticism, often claim victim status to deflect Irish_Dem Oct 2021 #42
"a mature politician"? soldierant Oct 2021 #57
I cannot think of any mature statesmen at all in the GOP. Irish_Dem Oct 2021 #58
Not in today's GOP, no. soldierant Oct 2021 #72
Yes, back in the day, there were a few honest GOP statesmen. Irish_Dem Oct 2021 #75
Angry about being called out now the heat is on her. OnDoutside Oct 2021 #54
Yes that is a part of it. She may not take criticism well. Irish_Dem Oct 2021 #69
I wonder if the AZ Dems publicly speaking against her might be part of the problem karynnj Oct 2021 #68
Yes I agree on all counts. Irish_Dem Oct 2021 #70
Well I do know one thing. calimary Oct 2021 #44

These assholes are going to sink Biden's agenda! Lunabell Oct 2021 #5
We on DU voted overwhelmingly; the nation did not. oldsoftie Oct 2021 #65
Regardless, Arizona voted for Biden. Lunabell Oct 2021 #71
Hasnt the AZ GOP called for the resignation of the GOP leader? oldsoftie Oct 2021 #74
She's a joke XanaDUer2 Oct 2021 #6
Jokes should be funny. She's an embarrassment. 11 Bravo Oct 2021 #45
I don't think she'll get re-elected, but 'til then we're stuck with her. Joinfortmill Oct 2021 #7
She's so upset but wasn't even in town for further negotiations... brush Oct 2021 #10
She won election in 2018 with 50.0% - like Manchin she is from a split state underpants Oct 2021 #12
NOTE: Manchin voted with Trump -39% LESS than expected based on how red his state was. bluewater Oct 2021 #15
Oh statistical analysis underpants Oct 2021 #30
Cheers! bluewater Oct 2021 #31
Manchin is not from a split state. He's from a ruby red state. BlueLucy Oct 2021 #37
How many conservatives voted for her? tenderfoot Oct 2021 #50
She's one of his favorite cheerleaders in Congress dalton99a Oct 2021 #14

Mavericky, to say the least. bluewater Oct 2021 #41
Now that Arizona is bluer than before IronLionZion Oct 2021 #16
40 or 60 percent would signal intent. 50.4 is a coin flip. Nt carpetbagger Oct 2021 #17
Something like 2-8% is normal for Democrats. Hortensis Oct 2021 #28

So she voted FOR Biden's Infrastructure billl... brooklynite Oct 2021 #21
Complaining about the President's current position on passage of BOTH Bills is mavericky bluewater Oct 2021 #25
That gets frequently mentioned about Manchin as well. FoxNewsSucks Oct 2021 #23
So Manchin and Sinema are keeping the Infrastructure Bill from coming to a vote in the House? brooklynite Oct 2021 #24
They failed to live up to the deal made. FoxNewsSucks Oct 2021 #26
If they obstruct negotiations on the Reconciliation bill? Yes, according to the President. bluewater Oct 2021 #27
"How many things never came to a vote because of her or someone like her? bluewater Oct 2021 #52
The Arizona Democratic True Blue American Oct 2021 #20
Did you know Bill Maher supported Sinema and Manchin on last night's show? Paladin Oct 2021 #43
Mavericky Maverick Bill Maher. bluewater Oct 2021 #47
If there isn't such an emoji, there ought to be. (nt) Paladin Oct 2021 #48

Maybe she will switch to Independent and get media Nixie Oct 2021 #61
Sinema is a RINO. She's no more a Dem than my poodle. 634-5789 Oct 2021 #62
She is a Democrat...a member of our party. Demsrule86 Oct 2021 #64
I'll agree to disagree. Her and Manchin are not Dems they're extorsionists IMHO 634-5789 Oct 2021 #73
How exactly is the possible? Biden has not been president for even a year...and the only thing Demsrule86 Oct 2021 #63
She is not the only Dem Senator (and certainly not the only Dem in the House) who voted more with Celerity Oct 2021 #66
Thank you for the correction, that should be "most supportive" then, rather than "only" bluewater Oct 2021 #67
