Sinema for President in 2024 [View all]
Stick with me on this...
So she announces change to independent and avoids Democratic primary. Note that AZ registration numbers are @ 33% GOP, 31% Ind and 26% Democrat. So essentially, she traded 26% for 31% with the knowledge that she was despised by Democrats for the greatest political sell out in the history of American politics.
She COULD run for Senate in 24 and wreak havoc in the general. Note that AZ does not have +50% runoff.. So Dems nominate Gallego. GOP nominates Lake or Ducey. I still think we can win that as Sinema will perform exceptionally bad and get way less independent votes than she could have imagined. Lake is toxic as she now has a defining characteristic - sore loser. Ducey might be tough. Democrats might even do better with House member and former Phoenix mayor Greg Stanton instead of Ruben. If the goal is independent appeal and countering Lake, Stanton might have it.
The question is.. Is Sinema trying to win elections or screw Democrats? Would she march into senate race as independent if she was polling bad? Her losing by 30pt would kill her political career and embarrass her. Would she do this just for the chance to screw Democrats? AZ Dems will run someone for Senate. No way they bow out for traitor Sinema.
Which brings me to my thread title. Is she running for president? Should we be flooding her email encouraging her to run for Pres? Her ego is big enough. Could she be tired of state politics and crave national race? You KNOW she wants more TV time. She can't run for Senate and President. How would she hurt us the least in 2024? How does she run for president with no constituency and no organization? Even with corporate money, she is poor compared to more entrenched politicians.
I say we encourage her for pres race and talk it up. She will not be able to resist jumping in. Let's play her like she played us.
