Kyrsten Sinema goes independent.

[ironglow]

  Sinema has turned independent, but we cannot rest assured it is of any great help.  Much depends upon who she
   caucuses with.

    It could just be a ploy to garner more votes in the purple state.   Her election comes up in 2 years, and her numbers
   are not looking great.

  She is supposed to have said she won't caucus with the Reps..so maybe it is just a ploy.. Time will tell.

   Question is can Sen. Manchin win running  as a Democrat in W.V.  again .

She climbed outta the democratic shlt hole onto the fence. A good hot shower still won't clear the stink off her.

     Running as a independent she can blackmail the Arizona Democrats to not challenge her  by splitting the vote 3 ways  and  risk losing the seat to Republicans .

I doubt very much he could win WV again in a fair election, but who knows with the cheatin that goes on now. Trump won WV with 70% of the vote. Then WV wasn't a state that mattered to the Marxist party when  they stole the election from Trump.  All they needed was PA, Wis. Mich. Ari. and Georgia, and they stole everyone of those states.

Schumer will still control her.
And she can avoid being 'primaried'.
If Mansion jumps ship he can avoid being 'primaried' , too.

  I  Agree , she stacked the deck in her favor .
