In reply to the discussion: Arizona Democrat Ruben Gallego announces Senate bid in challenge to Kyrsten Sinema [View all]bottomofthehill
(9,452 posts)16. I posted this on another thread in this but this is my fear.
Marc Kelly got 51.4 percent of the vote in a 3 way race that was really 2 main parties and a +/-2% person
The Republican High Water Mark is about 46.5 percent
If she (Sinema) holds on to 7 of her supporters, a republican gets elected. George Santos could pull 7 percent if he ran today in NY, She will pull 7%. She is garbage, an attention whore, a stain, you say it she is it, but, she has figured this out. if not her, a republican.
think of it this way
Blake Masters 46.5
Ruben Gallego 46.0
Kristin Sinema >7

I'm sure Sinema doesn't care. As many have noted here and in the media, she's slated herself...

Yes, good points, but what good will Sinema be to the Repubes if she isn't a "Democratic"

He can win the Dem primary, but he wouldn't face her until the general election

No, she changed Parties and said nothing about how she would run for re-election.

St Bernie of Burlington can do that in a very small state with few voters.

If she runs in the primary and loses, she can't run as an independent in the general

Why would she? It would be throwing away her last chance to benefit from her position.

I would not be too surprised if Sinema grabs a fair number of Republican votes
