When McCain did it he did so in support of the vulnerable to save the ACA.
Sinema IMO thinks she can be as arrogant as Manchin. The problem with that thinking is Manchin is in a deep red state and wins there due to his unique appeal (former governor) in the state. He's also a white man from a white state, who is in with the good ole boys club.
Sinema is a new Senator from a state that is purple, that Biden won, that is diverse and moving in a blue direction, that has several up and coming Dem stars like Rep Ruben Gallego and SoS Katie Hobbs and others who could easily defeat the clueless Sinema in a primary and likely perform better in the general election than Sinema did, who barely beat the terrible McSally.
