She is utterly unpopular among Democratic voters (like 50 points negative or worse) and unlikely to survive a Democratic primary. So maybe politically there is a logic in this move - although it is likely she will just be marginalized between GOP and Dems in 2024.

She has said she will continue to caucus with the Dems, and on policy she mostly voted with Biden anyway. So maybe not much changes. Bernie and King are independents also.
Manchin has said recently that he has also not ruled out leaving the party. His term is up in 2024 and he is 75 already……..

Smart move by Sinema, as a 3-way contest will almost certainly hand the seat to the GOP. Her closed ties to big industry lobby groups, especially Pharma, meant she was a pseudo-Dem anyway.

She’ll likely caucus with the Democrats, such as Sanders and King do (two other independent senators), unless she really wants to get out of politics. Roughly a third of Arizonans are Republican, Democrat, and independent, each, with the independents leading at 35%. Sinema knows that she’d be considered too left to be a Republican candidate, so she had basically created a mutually assured destruction situation with the Democratic Party if they run someone against her, the vote will split.
She’s going to do what her special interests tell her to anyway.

Re: All about Trump and 2024

Trump vs DeSantis by demographic groups among GOP and GOP-leaning independents. Quite interesting to see that younger Republicans prefer Trump over DeSantis by 20 points. Overall, Trump also ahead, but there are other polls that show the opposite.

I genuinely thought it was a SNL sketch and he had a sense of humor for once ... very sad how you often cannot tell the difference between reality and parody with Trump and his family.

For those who want to have a laugh this Friday morning - kindly note this is not parody:

This could actually be true. From the website:

Quote:
Some will be one-of-one’s (i.e. the only one in the world), while others will be limited to 2, 5, 7, or 10 copies. No Trump Digital Trading Card will have more than 20 copies in existence!

Which basically means that this is a campaign with a very low ROI. My guess is that this will be followed by a more massive campaign with cheaper, higher volume ones. Otherwise it makes no sense. But then again I catch myself trying to find logic in his actions when there's none.

Well, it's no secret that Trump will exploit anyone and anything to make a dollar. But people also pay hundreds and thousands of dollars on Pokemon cards, so.... go figure.

My home state has been dealing with loads of Californians moving there and there is plenty of animosity about those "liberals" coming to Texas. The same weird logic extends to all of the other swing and conservative states.
the logic doesn't seem that 'weird' to me. they vote for democrat policies that turn their area shit and then they run to more conservative areas and often advocate for the same policies they ran away from.

reminds me of EU folks moving here and talking about the 'benefits' of CH joining the EU
