The top Democratic Senate recruit who’s ditching Chuck Schumer
Quote:Kyrsten Sinema, one of the party’s most-prized recruits and a keystone of Democrats’ long-shot hopes of capturing the Senate this fall, has a ready rejoinder.

“I am not going to vote for him,” she said matter of factly when pressed on her view of the Democratic leader.

Sinema’s stance, revealed for the first time in a recent interview with POLITICO, is more radical than any member of the Democratic caucus, even vulnerable senators facing reelection deep in Trump country. But Sinema is staking her surprisingly strong campaign for Arizona’s open Senate seat on her close relationships with Republicans, praise for moderate Democrats and a distaste for the Democratic leader.

Her opposition to Schumer is just one example of how the three-term House member is carving out a center-left Senate campaign in the Republican state, hoping it’s enough to inoculate herself from the national party’s baggage and land Democrats their first Arizona Senate seat in 30 years.

She is notably more deferential to Trump than most Democrats are. “He has challenges,” she responded when asked whether Trump is a good president. “Transitioning from a CEO position to a presidency is probably a difficult challenge.”

That race won’t come into focus until the GOP primary is settled, but for now Sinema is definitely a strong candidate.

A snake cannot change his nature to strike. If she's been in office one only needs to look at her voting record. If not, then I'm sure she's on record as to her feelings.

She knows the writing is on the wall and is just pandering to get elected. I haven't seen any Demoncraps voting For in any bills that have come up, have you?
