She is said to have an inflated ego and is narcissistic. Why would she give up all the power and attention?

I don’t see it happening.

To be fair, manchin holding on to deep red West Virginia seems a tall order regardless.

That's doesn't apply to sinema.

As a matter of fact, I think we should ease up on her and Manchin. If either one of them flip we no longer have the senate. Do you really want Moscow Mitch back as leader?

Some folks have her that criticism will cause someone by itself to change political parties.

That is never the true reason why someone changes parties.

They are very anti-LGBTQ rights,, Marriage Equality, etc.. No invites to retreats. No invites to speak at CPAC.

All Sinema would be us just another vote, nothing more.

personal attacks against them is not a good strategy

The best way to deal with Manchin and Sinema is to win more seats in the Senate to make them irrelevant

A further note, President Biden has appointed 42 judges, of the most diverse background, in his first year in office, and that could not be done without Sinema and Manchin

Watch for her to become a “mavericky” independent, for a run up the imaginary “Center”, which is doomed to lose, but she could serve as a spoiler…
