2. So you regret she defeated her republican opponent in 2018?

That's incredibly dumb.

Yes Sinema can be, has been, and will be a pain in the ass. But without her election in 2018, the Democrats don't have 50 votes in the Senate last year. Biden's dozens of judicial nominations (which Sinema supported) don't get confirmed.

She's still going to caucus with the Democrats, so nothing changes for the next two years.
