as Sinema will siphon off a percentage of republican vote. as they know of her voting time and again against Biden's acenda...I mean her theatrics in making a scene in the well of the Senate in a ballet tutu to give a thumbs down to the big, high profile infrastructure bills, why that was designed to get republican attention and fund raising.

Yeah, she'll get some republican votes all right if she runs. And it'll help the Dem candidate.
