We are much better off without Kyrsten's enema. nt

1. The push to eliminate her is certainly growing. Nt

2. That statement is only true if "without" isn't the difference between having the majority or not.

Having the Senate majority is infinitely better than not having it, full stop.

It literally doesn't matter who the Senators are if not having the Senators in question also necessarily entails not having the majority. It could be Saddam Hussein (or any bogeyman/monster of your choosing) but if they are the difference between having the majority or not, it's better to have them.

At the moment Sinema isn't exactly said difference, true... But people get sick, die, get arrested, resign, etc. and replacement rules vary by state the next election is a way off. The margin is plenty narrow as it is. She isn't helpful most of the time but she also isn't entirely dispensable... Until she gets replaced by a D, that is. Then she can fuck all the way off.

3. full stop is right.

GOP is abut a half whisker away from control of BOTH chambers - and that represents a far bigger headache than the fickle Ms. Sinema.

4. She's no longer of use as of the '24 election as she's...

declared herself an independent. There will be a 3-way race between Gallego (D), Lake (R) and Sinema (I). She will come in last.

That leaves us with the task at hand — defeat Lake while not letting Senima be the spoiler who swings the election to Lake.

I'm all in on it for Gallego.

5. Was this because of her comment where she referred to her colleagues
