Is it beyond the pale that a Democratic senator was simply bought.
It is a time-dishonored procedure in politics. And there are some truly deep pockets that don't want Democrats to have a fair shot at winning. Lots of corporate boards to sit on, lots of corner offices that come with giant paychecks.
It would make a lot more sense than any other explanation of the kind of behavior we are witnessing.

Her ego is that big.

(4,379 posts)that she thinks she will be a candidate in 2024. If true, she is truly delusional. Either way she is abusing with complete hypocrisy the memory of MLK in her tweets. We should let her know she will never be considered. The only reason she would be supported is to split the vote. She could be a tool for the reich.

Observers have noted that Sinema is one of the largest benefactors of pharmaceutical political action committee money in Congress, and has been described as a "Pharma Favorite".[178][179] KHN reported:
For the 2019-20 election cycle through March, political action committees run by employees of drug companies and their trade groups gave her $98,500 in campaign funds, Kaiser Health News Pharma Cash to Congress database shows. That stands out in a Congress in which a third of the members got no pharma cash for the period and half of those who did got $10,000 or less.[178]
Sinema's haul was "twice that of Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, considered one of the most vulnerable Republicans in November, and approached that of fellow Democrat Steny Hoyer, the powerful House majority leader from Maryland."[180] Senator Bernie Sanders indirectly called her out, saying:
Take a hard look at those people who are opposed to strong legislation to lower the cost of prescription drugs, and take a look at their campaign-finance reports. See where they get their money, how many of them get their money from the pharmaceutical industry, and the executives there. And I think there will be a direct correlation.[180]

(46,772 posts)I am sure there are psy-op profiles on all sitting US Senators.
Easy then to narrow down the field.
And then do what it takes to flip them.
