That's how popular she is with people who actually KNOW her -- and haven't just heard the endless slams, repeated constantly in the media, by DT and other Rethugs.
As for Dems who think she isn't progressive enough -- she was progressive enough to satisfy 81% of the voters in SAN FRANCISCO. And DT uses that against her. Should we buy into that?
The irony is that the R's accuse her of being on the far left, while many here consider her too moderate. The truth is that she's condemned by the right because she's an effective leader. And that's why we should be supporting her.

(19,948 posts)Conversely Kyrsten Sinema (Dem Arizona 9) has a Lifetime Crucial Votes Score of 36.86%. We have her in a Swing district where the minimum Lifetime Crucial Votes score to be acceptable is 76.67%. Subtract 76.67% (minimum desired) from 36.86% (actual) and you get -39.81%. In other words Sinema is failing, and by a lot.

(4,905 posts)That I'd agree with. But not "one of the most." One would want top 5% or less for that designation.
