In reply to the discussion: Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Kyrsten Sinema? [View all]cadoman
(806 posts)42. agreed, Sinema will be in office till 2025!
This fight hurts now, but burning bridges with her is just gonna push her towards (I) or soft (R).
Sinema has a highly individualistic personality. You don't persuade that type of personality by asking it to fall in line, or to go along to get along. Those arguments are antithetical to its existence. If we threaten her she's just going to turn, because turning on a centralized force is the most appealing option for an individualist!
Find some way to get her involved in the process that turns her individualism from a liability into an asset.
EDIT: And just to prove a point. I voted "Approve" even though I don't approve of her. Individualists enjoy going against the grain, and are actually thrilled when the group shames them.

Manchin could make campaign ads about all the great stuff he is giving WV.

That's especially true, given that Arizona Republicans will *never* vote for her, . . .
