Unfortunately, I think there are some Dems who believe if they act and talk like Republicans they can dance on this imaginary middle line where they get voters from both sides to vote for them. But no matter how pro police and pro cage kids on the border they are, people will still rather vote Republican if those are their chief concerns and it only isolates you from the Dem party voters.
Sinema’s recent poll results shows she has a larger affinity with Republican leaning voters yet the majority still prefer the real thing in Kari Lake.
From what I can see it wasn’t even ideologically driven for her. In Romney’s book she is quoted saying she “saved the Senate”. But what did she save it from? The GOP have shown they will torch the filibuster when it suits them so what was she protecting? She does go on to say she can work on any board room she wants so I guess we can only accept everyone has a price and vote accordingly.
But in my opinion trading Senate prestige for a seat at some billionaires table sounds incredibly stupid.
