Still, one person who spoke to Sinema described her as “frustrated” at not being looped in, while another person who talked to her said she was “totally shocked.” And Republicans think she’s their only chance at stopping the deal.

To clarify the OP title, that is frustrated at not being looped in, not necessarily with the deal itself.

The not attending the caucus today has nothing to do necessarily either with the anti-inflation act, but here is the quote there:

Sinema did not attend the meeting. And Schumer repeatedly declined to comment on her potential vote. “You saw what she said. So I say, no comment. I’m not going to talk about Sinema, period.”

1. She's the on who can scotch this deal now. I hope she comes around...nt

[Scrivener7]

7. Hopefully Schumer anticipated this and can work around her.

[Celerity]

18. one other person (the Senate parliamentarian), and one other group (The Gottheimer 'raise the SALT

tax cap or we scuttle it' House crew, as there is no SALT cap raise in this bill, Manchin said no cap raise or he would not support it) can still stop it as well.

27. Honestly, the senate parliamentarian seems to me to be a Trump voter

Her rulings have been atrocious. We just got to get this passed though. If we do, it's game. set. match. and we win both the house and the senate in November!

[JohnSJ]

2. Politico working overtime to stir up shit

[Novara]

4. That's what they do.

[sunonmars]

3. Frankly, they don't trust her, thats why....

[Demsrule86]

26. Right this was supposed to secret and she runs her mouth to Mitch...game over.

[FakeNoose]

5. Poor Kyrsten can't understand why she's not the center of attention

[W_HAMILTON]

6. Not looped in, but also didn't attend the caucus where the looping in was being done.

I don't know why she thinks she is so special that she, in particular, should be """looped in""" on every single negotiation, but I look forward to getting more Democratic Senators in there that actually know how to work as a team in order to make her "look at me, look at me!" ass irrelevant.

[Wounded Bear]

9. Indeed! nt

[brush]

10. Yes. Couldn't have said it better.

[NewHendoLib]

8. Is she pulling a Collins?? Is she concerned???

[TheBlackAdder]

13. No, Collins support her party. Then again, Sinema might be supporting her party too. 🤔

[GoCubsGo]

17. Nah, she's likely pulling and "I love my Big Pharma money."

And, she was blind-sided by the loss of her Joe Manchin cover.

[elleng]

11. 'Republicans think she's their only chance at stopping the deal.'

[867-5309.]

12. Did they actually crow about an agreement she didn't buy into?

I'd like to think they couldn't be that stupid.

[Demsrule86]

24. I don't believe it myself...but she better vote for it or it is over for her...if she is the only

one then heaven help her...Manchin is from a red state Sinema is not. She has no excuse and I doubt she will torpedo this bill or didn't know what was in it.

[Sneederbunk]

14. Big mistake if she was not looped in.

[NewsCenter28]

19. I agree, in this senate makeup, we have to treat both her and Manchin like royalty

They can give us what we want. If we need to kiss Queen Sinema's and King Manchin's rings in order to advance our agenda, I'm more than willing. Then, once we are at 52 or more senators, then we can discard them, but, for now...they honestly need to be treated with the utmost respect and deference, again, only so that we can get what we want.

[Demsrule86]

22. I don't believe it myself.

[getagrip_already]

15. manchen is getting the credit for crafting, schumer for shiving...

But no love for sinoma.

This is likely the cause of her pouting. She likely knew what would be in the bill.

[Mr. Sparkle]

16. When your main friends are lobbyists, id say it's a bummer been left out

[Bev54]

20. Did she attend the republican caucus meeting?

[Blaukraut]

21. Welp, looks like the deal is off. Turtle wins again n/t

[Demsrule86]

23. The deal is not off...damn

[Blaukraut]

25. So do you actually believe Sinema will vote yes? n/t

[XanaDUer2]

28. He always wins nt
