She explicitly ran as a progressive in 2018. That she is deeply unpopular with Democrats in Arizona is surprise zero given she has not in fact acted like a progressive Democratic Senator at all.
I think Republicans like her more as a spoiler that frustrates Democratic goals, rather than any notion of her as a Republican caucus voting person.
I don’t see her as a honorable or communicative candidate in any way. She barely will even say anything to her fellow senators let alone her constituents.
Her public statements are patently ridiculous and say little at all.
Sinema seems to be misjudging the politics in Arizona.
1. Wacko Lake will surely try again for some office in the state, most likely in the Senate, so she would have to primary among the MAGAts who might not take to a bisexual.
2. Does she think that progressive Dems would cross over to vote for her as a Republican candidate? If honest, they'd realize she wouldn't have any connections in her new party and little to no pull.
3. The Repubs would be wary that she couldn't be trusted to vote on their hard-core social "policies".
4. She probably realizes that she's pick-up a paltry amount of votes if she runs and an Independent, so she had better do some deep dives into the political winds.
For now though the Democrats are enjoying their Majority in the senate, albeit a narrow one. President Biden has managed to pass a lot of consequential legislations with bipartisan support even with a narrower margin. I don't forsee him having problems with a Republican majority after 2024 frankly
Gallego is not only a stand-up guy, but would, as you said, walk over her in a Democratic primary. He's immensely popular with Arizona democrats (myself being one). If both Lake and Sinema were to run against Gallego, I fear Lake wins in a very close race. I don't think that's going to help me sleep at night. :/
My prediction is that by 11:30 PM, eastern, next November, new curtains will be ordered for the Oval Office.
Read this piece today, and my take is that Mr Biden has lots of time for Ottawa but not Palestine
