And win a primary and Dems are not going to cancel their primary for her.

No one knows the outcome but my guess is she only gets like 5-10 percent of the vote max in a three way and it's not clear to me she actually takes more from a Dem than a Rep.

She might simply get right leaning moderates who can't vote for whome.the Reps put up or don't want to vote for them (let's assume it's Kari Lake for example).

Maybe Lake wins in that example, but Gallegos has as good of a shot, which is more or less where we'd be without Sinema anyways.

Meanwhile Sinema fails and goes off to Fox to make millions.

If he's going to be our guy we need to spell his name correctly. And I hope he is our guy in this race.

Maybe hire Fetterman’s campaign staff, and run a social media campaign for the next two years.

Sinema’s career of chaos and obstruction must end in 2024.
