1. Sinema skipped the vote on the 1/6 commission.

Of course that Un-American twit did.

Whose shocked?

[Action_Patrol]

6. I am not surprised.

It would have failed even with her. It needed 10 republicans to pass

[brooklynite]

8. Of course, liberal Patty Murray did too, but let's find a scapegoat...

[AZSkiffyGeek]

14. It's optics

She is already under a microscope. Even if her vote didn't matter, she still should've showed up.

[TwilightZone]

18. Murray had a clear excuse.

See below. The situations are not analogous.

[greenjar_01]

28. ...

24. Tell you what ...

I don't agree with ANY poll 100% of the time.

But, I'll take Patty Murray all day long over Sinema.


McConnell: Sinema told me she won't nix the filibuster.


Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Tuesday that Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.) told him directly that she would not support nixing the 60-vote legislative filibuster.

McConnell's disclosure, made during a floor speech, comes after he signaled on Monday night that he would agree to a power-sharing deal with Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) to move forward in the Senate, where each party's caucus holds 50 seats.

"She opposes ending the legislative filibuster," McConnell said on Tuesday, referring to Sinema.

"Our colleague informed me directly last night that under no circumstances would she reverse course," he added.

When reached for comment, Sinema’s office confirmed that the GOP leader called the Arizona Democrat on Monday night and “she confirmed to him what she has long said publicly — that she opposes eliminating the legislative filibuster."

Both Sinema and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) reiterated publicly on Monday that they would not support eliminating the 60-vote legislative filibuster. Democrats would need the support of their entire 50-member caucus to get rid of the longstanding rule, meaning opposition from either senator would leave Democrats unable to proceed.

A fight over the filibuster has kept the Senate's organizing resolution in limbo for days after McConnell demanded an agreement to protect the filibuster be included in the power-sharing deal with Schumer — a demand rejected by Democrats.

McConnell announced on Monday night that the power-sharing deal could now proceed after the comments from Manchin and Sinema. Schumer didn't directly address comments from the two Democratic senators during his floor speech on Tuesday

And that bill Sinema's co-sponsoring? That's DOA.

WHICH folks in the GQP is she going to convince to come over to HER side 🤔

Like she'll get the bill over the 60 vote threshold?

It's no wonder that Sinema's numbers are cratering in Arizona. She seems to have switched sides completely.

[Me.]

2. WTH Does She Think She's Doing?

She's already becoming unpopular so I guess she just doesn't care

[AZ8theist]

33. I gave my heart, soul, time and $$MONEY$$ to get her elected.

And got THOUROUGHLY SCREWED BY HER VOTES AND ACTION IN CONGRESS.

Now, she can go fuck herself.

I will be ALL OUT SUPPORTING HER PRIMARY OPPOSITION.

I am SO PISSED at her right now, that I would almost vote Repuke when she runs for re-election.

34. You're Not The Only One From What I've Read

I think think this has gone to an already inflated ego. I've also wondered, given the gossip that she talks to Mitch, if she isn't a ringer.

[nuxvomica]

3. Where was Murray?

I've given up on Sinema but Sen. Murray also skipped?

[EleanorR]

17. I figured it was something like that

Thanks for clearing that up!

[dalton99a]

4. She couldn't decide on a good outfit

"How would this make me look on TV?"

[gab13by13]

5. They are starting their extra long,

Memorial Day vacation.

[JoanofArgh]

13. Who cares about democracy, amirite?

I know we obviously didn’t have the votes but the optics are bad. Like she could care less.

[MLAA]

7. I just left her 2 phone messages asking why she skipped this critical vote.

I won’t be voting for her again.

[dsc]

9. She was so excited to vote against the minimum wage

she bought a new outfit but couldn't be bothered to even show up to vote for this. She really is a piece of work.

[helpisontheway]

10. Let me guess..Kelly was there..I despise her..nt

[AZSkiffyGeek]

11. If they knew it wouldn't pass, I kinda get it

But Jesus Christ, Sinema has no fucking clue how to manage her optics! She's under a fucking microscope over her thumbs down... and her fuck you ring... so she doesn't even bother to make an effort here?

[dweller]

12. As Tester said

“ It’s bullshit. You make tough decisions in this office or you shouldn’t be here.”

✌🏻

[Fullduplexxx]

16. It's all a big club ...

[Ace Rothstein]

19. Who needs enemies when you have friends like Sinema?

[budkin]

20. Tired of her bullsh*t

Another Democrat should have her seat.

[spanone]

21. In his press conference Schumer just said they had all fifty members on the floor....

[Nevilledog]

22. If they had been there the vote would have been 56-35

50 Dems + 6 Rs

[Kid Berwyn]

25. Who's side is she on?

Talking about Democracy or Fascism.

[Mr. Sparkle]

26. I wouldn't be surprised if she were to jump over to the other side.

She seems very into corporate donations these days and less progressive.

[Baitball Blogger]

27. So, now it goes to a special commission heavy with Democrats to make the decisions?

[hatrack]

30. Why? Was she busy chasing a laser-pointer dot across the carpet?

[Progressive Jones]

31. Sinema is nothing but a GOP plant. nt

[SwannieK]

32. Damn, Sinema!

Never thought I would ever say that my vote to make Sinema a Senator is now one of the biggest regrets of my life. What a disgrace to Arizona and a slap in the face for democracy. Pathetic

[Mosby]

35. Lunch got in the way
