Phoniness is inherent in the nature of the enterprise. The real question is whether she has chosen the best way to play the game.

Phony?
Not nearly as phony as the entirety of the corrupt American hack-D press who dutifully over-look the obvious criminality of the Biden family international gritting shit show.
Ah, Aaron Rupar. I like Sinema better already.
The left so desperately want to purge her.
What is true phoniness among politicians? Making up a lie about someone else and broadcasting it as true, right, Hillary and Harry Reid?
That is phoney, Symenna was chased out of the Democrat party by activists expecting obedience. Leaving is the only way to preserve your honor.
And that’s why she is a great politician!
Two “independents” caucusing with Democrats is already a lot. Get it up to three — or four, if Manchin follows her — may be more than the gambit can handle. (Yeah, the scare quotes are deliberate.)
As to phoniness, most are but some, perhaps surprisingly, are quite genuine. Bob Dole, for instance, was quite genuine in his regard for people, and his memory for names and faces was utterly amazing. I’ve not met Glenn Youngkin yet, but his Lieutenant Governor, Winsome Earle-Sears, is as real as a punch in the mouth.
She has been a phony all along, which is what qualifies her to be a politician. Mitt Romney is the model.
Sinema aside, Aaron Rupar is a moron.
I want to support her.
But she is sponsoring amnesty right now. And then there is Ukraine:
“Today’s bipartisan support in the Senate for increased financial, humanitarian, and military aid for Ukraine makes clear that the United States will not tolerate Russia’s illegal and unprovoked war. As Russia continues its attacks on a free, democratic, and sovereign Ukraine, we must continue promoting our country’s and our allies’ long-term security – including by supporting Sweden and Finland’s NATO membership bids, boosting our cyber defenses against Russian threats, and increasing financial punishments on Putin and his regime. I stand ready to support policies that keep America safe while ensuring proper oversight of our ongoing assistance to Ukraine.”
She is probably getting kickbacks from Ukraine too.
Nationally, Republicans reflexively gleeful, Democratic leadership cautiously respectful, Weekend Update gently mocking. Will have to see what the polls in Arizona say. They weren't good previously.
Aaron Rupar exudes spoiled brat.
Aaron Rular just exudes punchability. That open-mouth "how did you know I enjoy sucking off guys in the park!?!" avatar photo should be all you need to determine the discardability of his opinions.
Three things hit me watching this:
1) She's got eyes on a future Presidential run. Bet on it. And...depending on the landscape at the time, she could win.
2) I wonder what Aaron Rupar and his ilk would have to say about a Thomas Jefferson, a John Adams, an Alexander Hamilton, a Benjamin Franklin today if they were dropped into our laps to have a look around and had a few things to say. I know they all think they know Hamilton because Hamilton!, the play, but I suspect he'd horrify today's Left. 'Statesmen' tend to get in the way of people with a cause.
3) Aaron Rupar would still be a page boy carrying the train of Krysten Sinema's dress if she was still a loyal Party operative.
Hate to ruin your day, Readering, but “Weekend Update” has no relevance, no impact other than to document the rapid decline of what was once funny.
So, wait… just so I have this right. Making the challenge of re-electing herself tougher is phony?
When actions don’t speak louder, when actions are not good enough, the accuser might be the phony.
shes just a Kardashian wannabe. Thats her goal. Talk about ME.
"Kyrsten Sinema just exudes phoniness"
Hey, can we play?
Let's do Joe "Moderate" Biden. Or Orator Barry O. Or Kamala--though on second thought, she's authentically clueless. Or Hillary. Or Feel-Your-Pain Billy Jeff. Or how about the entire FBI?
Of course, some exude it more skillfully than others. Goes over well with soap opera women. Only a problem if it endangers the prog project, so Sinema is asking for trouble.
Coming from Rupar, that's a pretty solid nudge towards predisposed endorsement for any normal person.
Sinema has understood the distinction between her job and herself, as a brand. She is focused on her branding - her job is important, but incidental at this particular point. As an independent, she's going to split the votes nicely, especially if she does her job well
dont divulge your politics, dont debate.
Success
worked for Hobbs
readering: "Nationally, Republicans reflexively gleeful,...."
Transparently false.
Republicans understand completely what is driving this decision and know it doesn't fundamentally change anything.
Sinema support in AZ by party:
Dens: 15%
Independents: 25%
Rep: 7%
Sinema is going to try and "Maverick" her way to re-election.
One thing she won't be counting on is having a Senate leader who will behave as despicably towards the dem base as McConnell did towards the republican base in AZ and Alaska for Murkowski and against Masters and Tshibaka.
Dems dont do that to their base. Only the GOPe-ers do that to their base.

hmmm a Sinema/Gabbard ticket?
In a threeway* between Biden/Harris, Sinema/Gabbard, and ANY two republicans**...
Who would YOU vote for? Keep in mind; The Point of voting is to elect.
threeway* get your mind out of the gutter.. Pervert!
Any two republicans** Romney/Kemp? Collins/Ryan? DeSantis/Trump? Trump/DeSantis?
Dems spent $10s of millions in Republican primaries, to get Trumpy candidates on the ballot. While effective at keeping Senate control, it fatally damaged Trump's chances of being the 2024 nominee and made Biden untouchable in his primary run for reelection. A strong "independent" third candidate is the best shot at siphoning enough votes from a DeSantis/whoever ticket to get Biden another 4 years.
Sinema's phoniness is a necessary condition.
She’s interesting, that’s all. Most Congresscritters are dull or dumb or both. She’s not dull and boring. She’s not easily bullied. The leftists who dialed their game up to eleven and went after her made a big mistake. Now she’s a sympathetic and interesting Congresscritter who can make trouble for them. Even right wingers like me appreciate that. Centrists and independents do. Non-nutty democrats do too. Everybody who would NOT chase her into a toilet stall appreciates her backbone. Nancy and her thugs made Sinema what she is today and she certainly is not a boring phony like the rest of Congress.
People who want power will work to achieve that power. Sometimes it means kowtowing to the party, sometimes it means tacking to the center, sometimes it means playing to the base, sometimes it means all three in the same year. And somehow we are supposed to be surprised or shocked or incensed or whatever. One thing we should be certain about is that politicians at the highest level almost never do things for you and me. We server their purpose. Vote accordingly.
robrother - you have that partially correct. The left did spend money on un-electable R-candidates
(Mastriano in PA is the best example of a D-engineered installation of a unelectable R candidate.)
You gotta flip the script now. The left are going to do all they can to make sure it's a Biden-Trump rematch. They know what they are doing.
But this thread is about Sinema. I have not been to the cinema in years to see a bad hollywood movie.
hmmm a Sinema/Gabbard ticket?
Gabbard/Sinema in '69!
You want to know who exudes phoniness?? Nancy the lying abortion loving monster, who has a fake face, a fake laugh, and a fake husband.
Arizonians love mavericks.
Agree with Mike K, politicians are all phony for sure. They may start out as a true-blue single issue firebrand but after they're in office they learn things are "complicated" and start hedging.
I mean, all of them.
Sinema might have a strategy - or perhaps she is the opposite of phony. Perhaps she is guided by principle?
That alone will drive the collective hive-mind left NUTS.
The strategy on the left is - obedience obedience mind-numbing obedience to The Party. Look at their obedience to Crook Biden.
I predict there will be the occasional vote where she dramatically sides with the Republicans, at least for a delay "so we can try to get away from partisanship." Otherwise she will be a good soldier for the Dems, unless there is some move to conservatism on her part I'm not aware of. McCain made the occasional move to the left, and moved all the progressives to tears. Climate change! Campaign finance! Tobacco! And eventually saving Obamacare--although to his credit, McCain said on the last one he didn't read the bill--it would be rare for a Senator to do that--but he did consult with AZ seniors. They wanted to keep the individual mandate or whatever it was--a source of revenue. McCain: done.
I agree with others: the Dems who are Twitter storming Sinema are fools, and the Dem establishment will not be so stupid as to try to primary her. She is golden in AZ and to some extent nationally. Won't the Dems be needing a candidate for Pres fairly soon?
Sinema isn't really phony. She's faking it.
Sinema's move is smart. It prevents the Democrats from running anyone against her in Arizona in 2024- a three way race between a Democrat, a Republican, and Sinema would certainly elect the Republican since Sinema votes in the Senate just like any other Democrat, and will still be caucusing with them and voting for Schumer's committee selections and Senate organizing rules- she would draw most of her votes out of the Democrat candidate's hide.
So, in one sense, Rupar is correct- this is a sort of phony explanation, but Rupar still doesn't really understand the why since he is as dumb as a box of rocks.
The Holden Caulfield critique.
What if her phoniness is faked?
At any rate, anything that weakens and divides the Ds (and the Rs for that matter) is fine by me.
Sinema is doing the 1990s Clinton 'triangulation' move. She was going to challenged from the left in the Democratic Primary, and may have lost as a Democrat. Now, as an Independent she's set up to split D voters and make the D candidate lose if she is challenged. So, she'll either run without opposition from the left or hand the election to the Republican candidate.
That's the gamble. With Arizona being home to many California refugees (e.g., similar but notably different politics; some very pro gun elements too) and retirees (e.g., conservative as long as they get their social security/pension and healthcare checks), she might win.
Phony compared to whom?
My phoniness acid test is conducted by watching politicians' videos with the sound off.
The all-time champion of phoniness is Gavin Newsom. There isn't a single video in which he doesn't come off as the most unctuous, oleaginous, disingenuous creature walking the earth.
Compared to him, Sinema is Harry Truman.
Unless she caucuses with the GOP to make it a 50/50 Senate is all phony bullshit. That would take some courage and conviction.
It would be funny if she did...and then Manchin followed suit.
It would be Mitch McConnell's nightmare. He want's to remain in the minority.
Yep, the leftoid Dems who chased her in the airport and ladies' room probably got her thinking about this move. They all screamed about how they were going to 'primary' her the next election cycle. Sinema is now laughing at all of them.
Comparing Rupar to a box of rocks is a gross insult to the box of rocks. A box of rocks is useful unlike Rupar. Rupar is only good for generating hot air. A box of rocks has many uses:
- Building a retaining wall
- As an accent for a trail
- As a border for a driveway
- As paper weights
- As ground cover
Once you can fake phoniness you've got it made.

And when you Romney Republicans didn't get your way you sabotaged all those icky Trump republicans and helped democrats defeat them.
Just go be a democrat.
Mike, I stand corrected.
Was it a mistake to tell English 101 students to cut out the "I think" and "I feel" and state everything boldly as a matter of fact? Is it better sometimes to frame one's opinions and reactions as subjective opinions and reactions, rather than as anything with more substance that that?
Phoniness is general and universal in politics. Middle Class Scranton Joe. Just Folks Barack. Aw shucks Dubya. Good Old Boy Bill. Everybody is putting on an act and playing a role. Rupar may think that up and down the line partisanship is authentic and real and that it shows a lack of calculation. More likely it just shows a lack of independent thought and judgement.
I don't see Sinema running for higher office. Parties don't nominate renegades and third party or independent presidential campaigns always fail (that too is baked into the political system). She may have quite a career as a public speaker, writer, TV personality or guru ahead of her though.
The center-right is so STUPID. I'm actually seeing conservative website's celebrating this. Oh, she's such a hero, take that libs!
To repeat: This is about her posing as an independent to get elected in 2024. She wants to caucus with Chuck Schumer, and vote with the D's 95 percent of the time, while pretending to be some Independent Maverick. Look at her voting record, other than opposing getting rid of the filibuster, she votes with schumer.
Bernie Sanders and King of Maine are Independents too. wow, if only we can get more Senators like that, we're on our way to Conservative victory!
I like contrarian takes. Here are 2.
1. She will run and win her seat in 2024. D and R candidates will both be wingers.
2. Biden will run again and win easily. Inflation will abate, and Trump will run as 3rd party candidate just to screw the R's.

I am not a Romney Republican. (whatever that is) (also impossible because I do not live in Utah) Those of you who want Trump to be the GOPe nominee in 2024? You might be a sekrit democrat. Just sayin'. In any case - Relax. Trump WILL be the nominee. Not sure why your panties are in a constant state of snit over it.
Also - Trump does more self-sabotage to himself that some obscure blog commenter. Get real.
I'm wondering why anyone would think she should stick with a party made up of a bunch of people who hate and despise her.
It's not _such_ a strong question, because the black community seems fine with doing that.
Does she do what she promises?
Does she do what you want?
What else matters? She has a track record, so the answers are there to be seen.

Karl Rove was paid republican donor cash to create "pro-Oz" Senate campaign commercials that simultaneously "pumped up" (by comparison) the democrat Shapiro's governor's campaign against Mastriano. Republican donor dollars used to help the democraticals and attack republicans...just like in Alaska.
That little despicable GOPe-er move was right after Gov Doug Ducey, head of the Republican Governor's Association, told Mastriano he was just "not our kind of people", and then Ducey completely cut Mastriano out of funding loop from the RGA.
That occurred simultaneously with the McConnell/McCarthy/Luntz crew telling major republican donors to NOT donate directly to any campaign of the icky republicans.
Naturally, Karl Rove was out yesterday with an article blaming, who else, Trump for the republican electoral failures this year!
Our Turncoat GOPe-er Perpetual Get Out Of Jail Free Card.
The GOPe-ers do it because they know there is a legion of moron GOPe followers, like some on this very thread, who will go along with any BS excuse for the purposeful "failure" while the GOPe insiders continue to cash in.
FYI, it was Karl Rove himself in the 2000 South Carolina Republican primary who ran the "John McCain has an illegitimate african-american daughter" and "John McCain was a traitor in North Vietnam" ploys in the Bush Campaign's desperate bid to hold off a 3rd straight McCain primary win.
And there were about a dozen more of those as well.
Remember that the next time the "respectable" and "principled" GOPe-ers start to lecture you on any subject.
What is phoney about Trump?
Gusty Winds (Elon Musk Fanboy): "Unless she caucuses with the GOP to make it a 50/50 Senate is all phony bullshit. That would take some courage and conviction.
It would be funny if she did...and then Manchin followed suit.

Desperately.
McConnell desperately wants to remain in the minority....but not by so much. It's much easier to play "Failure Theater" that way, get paid, and fool the GOPe suckup rubes.
Every party has some.
McConnell will caucus/vote with the R party.
Manchin and Sinema will caucus/vote with the D's.
Lucy. Football. Sunrise = east.
Perhaps Kentucky and Utah can rid themselves of McConnell and Romney - so we don't have to read endlessly about their mysterious ether-like power over the universe.
In the mean time - thanks to McConnell we don't have that freak-show Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court. (that bastard) But nevertheless, McConnell is ancient, and does bad things... and he will die in office because no one ever steps up to primary him with any sufficient backing or back-bone. (whine)
Who will run to take his seat after he dies? That is a message for Kentucky.
In Utah - who is gearing up to primary Romney? (no one. because whiners gonna whine)
Ah, so she's a TERF. Trans activist true believers picked up on it last year. Lol.
Good for her. Trans has completed wormed its way into all the institutions esp the DNC.
Go Team TERF!
Again - relax, Trump supporters. For I bring you tidings of great joy. Trump will be the nominee. Celebrate! Exhale and untwist your clenched buttock muscles.
Who will be his running mate? Kari lake? YE? Mastriano?
I do like Kari Lake. She's got moxy and she knows how to handle the press. She made some mistakes.. unnecessary errors. (why the obsession over telling voters to shove-off is beyond me) (#the left will Sarah Palin her.)
Sinema is going to try and "Maverick" her way to re-election.
It is a pretty good calculation on her part. That often works in Arizona.
It all depends on whether the AZ Democrat Party abandons her to Ruben Gallegos. If he gets the Dem nomination, then a halfway decent Rep candidate (not a given in AZ) will win.
It would be a very interesting scenario if Kari Lake got the Rep Nomination. The GOPe would work really hard for her opponent(s).
My best guess is that Sinema becomes a maverick Democrat (with support from the party establishment) and runs without Gallegos in the race.
1. She will run and win her seat in 2024. D and R candidates will both be wingers.
Arizona doesn't have run-off elections. Sinema could position herself as the sane moderate and win, but in a three candidate race, someone could win with only 33 percent of vote -- or even less with minor parties in the race. So even a "winger" could win. I don't think one can assume that either party or Sinema herself would lie down and give up in a three person race, so anything could happen.
2. Biden will run again and win easily. Inflation will abate, and Trump will run as 3rd party candidate just to screw the R's.
Anything could happen there as well. And there's also a three-way contest there. Inflation, recession or neither? So maybe there's a two-thirds chance that the economy will suck in 2024. Will abortion still be such a big deal for voters after years of Bidenomics? Trump is a wild card, and I don't think anybody can predict what he will do.
HBTPFH: "In the mean time - thanks to McConnell we don't have that freak-show Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court."
Thank Joe Biden since it was his "rule" (the Biden Rule) that established the precedent for McConnell.
After Biden used it first, any Republican Senate Majority Leader would have done the same. McConnell hardly deserves credit for doing the basics.
"Sincerity; if you can fake that, you've got it made."

"Phoniness is inherent in the nature of the enterprise."
Now, why is that? And is politics the only enterprise of which that is true?
I think we despise politicians for the same reason we despise lawyers. Because they represent the interests of our fellow citizens.
It's amazing how wide-spread left insta-hate works. Within seconds, like turning on a switch, people go from being admired and supported by the left to immediate vilification, with the entire progressive universe parroting the same lines.
Phony? Sinema seems to me to be exactly what she is - if you have an accurate conception of her to begin with.
Now Manchin isn't quite characterized as "phony," although he is. More accurate is that he is a tease. Knowing that, you see through his phoniness and know that he will always revert to voting with and for the Dems.
Meanwhile, have we discussed the rise of the Gang of ___ in the House? The handful of Republican extortionists who think they have a veto over GOP leadership and positions as if they were the second coming of Maverick McCain, et al., and his/their multiple Gangs of ___?
So she’s phoney because she colors her hair?
I came on to say don't listen to anything Aaron Rupar has to say, but plenty of others beat me to it.
Glad to see such well-informed company.
Mainstream Media and Democratic activists can insult and annoy a "maverick" Democrat all day long, yet the person will never join the Republicans on anything important.
Meanwhile, you have whiny RINO babies like Kinzinger and Liz Cheney who flip to the other side if anyone even slightly questions them.
Turtle/Mittens 2024
Slow and snivelly wins the race!
Calling a politician phony is like calling a baby young.
#NoJudgment #NoLabels, right? Throw another baby... fetus.. Fetal-Baby on the barbie, it's over.
Who is Aaron Rupar? And why should I care about his thoughts on any subject?

Why are you supporting the Republicans that attack Trump and why are you attacking Republicans that Mitch sabotages?

So a Journalist is the arbiter of phony.
The joke writes itself.
HBTPFH: "Those of you who want Trump to be the GOPe nominee in 2024? You might be a sekrit democrat. Just sayin'."
Just another ignorance driven, lashing out of a buffoon who has no idea what is happening right in front of him.
Hey HBTPFH, would a secret democratical cut a deal with Schumer to abandon Masters in AZ (because he might not support McConnell's corrupt dealings) if Schumer didnt heavily support the dem, Beasely, running against Budd in NC (because Budd promised he would be a loyal McConnell-ite)?
Not a surprise, is it? After all, Schumer and McConnell share precisely the same view of the republican party.
We are in the best of hands...the hands of... Top. Men.
“It would be a very interesting scenario if Kari Lake got the Rep Nomination. The GOPe would work really hard for her opponent(s).”
A perfect description of the path to a Sinema victory.
Temujin said..."'Statesmen' tend to get in the way of people with a cause."
A colleague of mine (with very different politics from mine) and I recently tried to figure out if there was anyone today who might credibly be called a "statesman" in the traditional sense of the word. We failed. Next, we tried to identify younger politicians who might develop into the role. Again, we failed. (One reason for the failures: we stipulated that anyone truly filling the "statesman" role would need to be broadly recognized as such by people across the political spectrum. In 2022, you might as well search for unicorns.)
rcocean said..."She wants to caucus with Chuck Schumer, and vote with the D's 95 percent of the time, while pretending to be some Independent Maverick. Look at her voting record, other than opposing getting rid of the filibuster, she votes with schumer."
For a Democrat in 2022, voting with your side 95% of the time is being an independent maverick. Also, to be fair, "opposing getting rid of the filibuster" was no small thing.

You accidentally performed some self awareness.
Perhaps Kentucky and Utah can rid themselves of McConnell and Romney - so we don't have to read endlessly about their mysterious ether-like power over the universe.
Your inability to deal with this is noted.
In the mean time - thanks to McConnell we don't have that freak-show Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court. (that bastard)
There were 3 of us in here that thought Trump had a chance in 2016.
That was purely performative on his part and McConnell was clearly planning on seating Garland after the election and would have been able to say "I tried!" just like everything else uniparty Republicans do.
But nevertheless, McConnell is ancient, and does bad things... and he will die in office because no one ever steps up to primary him with any sufficient backing or back-bone. (whine)
Who will run to take his seat after he dies? That is a message for Kentucky.
In Utah - who is gearing up to primary Romney? (no one. because whiners gonna whine)
And now you highlight the problem again on accident.
The Machinery of the Republican party is corrupt. It is dominated by people who are supported by the Oligarchs. There is no entry for normal people into the system.
Talk to the voters, humpers.
If the Republican party is so corrupt - Trump Humper Twins - you should look elsewhere. Stop your endless boring broken record bitching ... and find a new party. You should also convince your hero, perfect Trump-o, to leave the Republican party. GOP. GOPe. whatever.
Trump humper twins- you've repeated yourselves over and over and over... You'd make good democraticals.
I do wonder - who will Trump pick as his running mate? Surely Trump's loyal fan base know who it is.
Who the fuck is Aaron Rupar, and why should I give a crap what he thinks?
McConnell/Romney-tard: "If the Republican party is so corrupt - Trump Humper Twins - you should look elsewhere"
There is no way we are abandoning this party just so you GOPe-ers can more easily complete your full merger with your dem allies.
Get used to it dummy.
Harmeet Dhillon: "If elected as chair of the RNC, one of my first actions will be to initiate a top-to-bottom review of every contract the RNC has with consultants, vendors, etc., to evaluate:
*Pricing
*Results
*Conflicts/double dipping
*How can we use donor money more efficiently?"
And that is precisely why the McConnell/Romney-tards will not allow Harmeet to replace their beloved Ronna Romney-McDaniel.
The McConnell/Romney-tards exist solely to support the GOPe grift operation.
And that is why we must oppose them as much as their democratical allies.
HBTPFH: "I do wonder - who will Trump pick as his running mate? Surely Trump's loyal fan base know who it is."
It looks like our resident McConnell/Romney-tard has picked up ALL the bad habits of his dem allies Inga and Howard (Inga and Howard have been very impressed with their ally HBTPFH as of late)
In this case, the bad habit is extraordinary forgetfulness.
Up until about 15 minutes ago HBTPFH schtick has been Trump us completely washed up, no supporters, zero leverage, etc etc etc.
But now Trump winning the nomination is a done deal! Thats it! Period!
Of course, both positions are moronic given where we are on the calendar and what the GOPe corruptocrats at the DOJ/FBI will be up to and are certain to do, but thats our HBTPFH for you.
He can only see what his GOPe-er betters put right under his nose.
LOL. Trump Humper logic is histerical. Still waiting for the answer on who will be Trump's running mate.
People in politics believe all sorts of self-serving and manifestly false things. Why is it so hard to believe that she might actually believe the spiritual stuff she's selling?
Maybe she knows what it takes to be in politics and to be president and realizes it's not for her. Her future is bright whatever she does, and as a bisexual, she has twice as many opportunities as other people.
If the corrupt left want a Biden-Trump rematch - they will get it. With help from the humpers and fan boys.
Who will be the running mate?
YE?
Mike Lindell?
Mike Huckabee?
Kari Lake?
Blake Masters?
OZ?
I have no agenda, I am genuinely curious.
Trump Humper - Ronna Romney is horrible and should be booted. Not up to me. Trump still sucks - but he's gonna make it! Don't you worry.
Says Rupar the gack whose name is a byword for phony journalism...
HBTPFH: "I have no agenda..."
Your "agenda" is assigned to you, by your GOPe betters.
"You can trust me--I'm not like the others."
Sure, she's phony. Apparently Rupar thinks all of his other Democrat heroes are straight-shooting, down-to-earth truth tellers.
I'm shocked, shocked to hear that there is gambling in this establishment!"
What was quite genuine was the distress of unbiased independent journalist Jake Tapper who is absolutely not a Democrat hack, no sirree.
I'll repost this for the benefit of our slow-on-the-uptake McConnell/Romney-tard:

Of course, both positions are moronic given where we are on the calendar and what the GOPe corruptocrats at the DOJ/FBI will be up to and are certain to do, but thats our HBTPFH for you."
I dont think I can dumb it down anymore than that for you-know-who.
Dems dont do that to their base. Only the GOPe-ers do that to their base.
@Drago, I wonder whether Mitch McConnell realizes what the base even is. He’s 80 years old (for the benefit of Quayle, that’s 4 years older than the oldest Baby Boomer). He’s obviously quite set in his ways, and probably he resents the changes that Trump made to the base. From where I sit Trump realized two things: (1) that the working class — both non-union but, strangely enough, union rank and file — were being screwed over by the modern Democrat Party and they knew it; and (2) corporations, through the Chamber of Commerce, were dictating Republican policy, yet those same corporations were giving the bulk of their campaign contributions to Democrats. Trump also recognized that it would not be hard to put in place policies that greatly benefitted the workers and small businesses, and so make them part of a new and stronger base.
In my view McConnell figures (probably correctly) that he doesn’t have to adapt to the new GOP base to win re-election and he’s too set in his ways to be bothered to learn anything about the wants and needs and aspirations of the new GOP base. That’s probably also true of other older senators. An exception is Mitt Romney. He’s 75 but I don’t think he is necessarily old and set in his ways. I think he’s just an asshole.
Still no answer on Trump's glorious running mate.
Trump IS bleeding support - but that won't matter to the people who are actually in control.
Hint - it's not Trump, his supporters or even the dastardly GOPeeeee McConnell-McCain-Ryan-Ronna-Romney Romney CoC Oligarch set.
Trump-Biden 2024. You heard it here fist. Now - who will be that running mate?
Who will be Trump's running mate?
oops - i left someone out.

Trump is bleeding support. But it doesn't matter. The dems will help with that.
“Sinema might have a strategy - or perhaps she is the opposite of phony. Perhaps she is guided by principle?”
All of a sudd3n, the Dems can’t bully her. They were probably thinking of taking some of her committee memberships away, for when she thwarted her party on, for example, the filibuster. Now they can’t do it. She just switches over to caucusing with the Republicans. She probably still is a die hard Democrat, but they can’t take for granted any more.
Big Mike @6:28 PM, I agree.
HBTPFH is like a child groping about in the dark.
Dont worry HBTPFH. More instructions will be delivered to you soon.
In the meanwhile, you can focus on the highest priority agenda items of your GOPe heroes: DACA amnesty, open borders and unlimited cash for the Ukraine grift machine, etc.
All the things your preferred candidate in CO, O'Dea, had to promise to support to get cash from McConnell.
What a visionary, eh?
HBTPFH: "Trump-Biden 2024. You heard it here fist."
Heard it here first, last and only because no one else would be stupid enough to write it.
But you did. Oddly enough, even proudly.
So, congratulations?
Rupar is in the Urban Dictionary. After you read the (well-deserved) definition, you will understand why his opinion is quite worthless.
"and he’s too set in his ways to be bothered to learn anything about the wants and needs and aspirations of the new GOP base."
Learning about those wants and needs and aspirations and caring about them are two different things.
Just sayin'.

If the corrupt left want a Biden-Trump rematch - they will get it. With help from the humpers and fan boys.
Who will be the running mate?
YE?
Mike Lindell?
Mike Huckabee?
Kari Lake?
Blake Masters?
OZ?
I have no agenda, I am genuinely curious.
You were wrong about Trump in 2016 during the primary.
Trump supporters were right about Trump in 2016.
Trump proved that he could actually get shit done Republican voters wanted done and he pulled the masks off the controlled opposition traitors in DC.
Until you come to grips with that truth and accept that you can be wrong you are going to hit refresh on this stupid blog post demanding answers to your stupid childish questions while adults are out raising their kids and doing shit in the real world.
You are acting like an immature child.
We have real enemies and massive problems to solve. If you want to be a stupid git go ahead. You provide a reasonable foil for intelligent people to point out what is really going on and how stupid GOPe tools are.
I would prefer if you grew up and started facing the actual problems in front of us though.
@Hunter’s Hooker, if your comment at 6:30 is in response to my comment at 6:28, then you, sir, are a moron, sn asshole, and a maggot so covered i slime no self-respecting stone would permit you to slither beneath it.
Still waiting for the Ever-Trumpers to reveal who they think Trump will choose as his running mate.
Big Mike - re-read what I wrote. Can you read between the lines?
Who am I talking about? ... Any idea?
BiG MIke
Your comment to me 3:19 is so Trumpian.
Achilles -I don't need a re-hash of 2016.
Who will be Trump's running mate 2024?
It is odd that a simple question about a running mate has driven the Ever-Trumpers into a hurricane of rage.
Big Mike - No, that was not a response to you.
Although I like your commentary on how you know the inner workings of McConnell's brain. Similar to Ever-Trumper/Trump Humper Drag queens's notion that I have so much power in Colorado. Who knew?
It's cool to have so much power.
Was the phoniness always there, or did is start suddenly, just recently, perhaps exactly when she decided to leave the Democratic Party? Is there a previous public record of her being noted by the press and punditry as exuding phoniness? If only there was some way to access her past public appearances and public utterances, and the reactions thereto, like a website that was a searchable archive of past information. Pity we can't have that.
Hey, google reports that the WaPo had a piece in January 2022 calling Sinema out for her phoniness over a filibuster reform proposal. So she has been a phony all along, or at least all of 2022. I guess that sort of thing can eventually wear down even a Democratic Senator and make her want to stop being phony. Or perhaps she became so very very phony that she had to leave the party because her phony adherence to it finally could not be supported.
Either way, she has a past as an accused phony.
HBTPFH: "Similar to Ever-Trumper/Trump Humper Drag queens's notion that I have so much power in Colorado. Who knew?"
No one ever said any such thing. Again.
You're back to your "the Saudi's are funding the Trump campaign!" and "Drago said the ChiComs are funding DeSantis!" nonsense again.
Its a daily thing for you now.
You probably can't help it.
Still no answer from Ever0Trumper Trump Humpers on who Trump's running mate will be?
A list? a few hopefuls?
*crickets*
