      Talking with a lot of people who know Sinema quite well last year I got the same impression. She sees herself as a presidential contender who doesnt really need AZ or Dems anymore. Comical fantasy but possible to sustain with enough money folks blowing smoke up yr behind.https://twitter.com/Amy_Siskind/status/1481731676669632516 …

      THREAD on Sinema: Sinema's behavior has made no common sense to me. Surely she knows too that she would lose in the 2024 Democratic primary. Why would she do it? I have info from an inside source who lives in AZ and has a direct connection. With his permission am sharing. 1/

      It's a common fantasy for pols at her level -- see Michael Bloomberg.

          And the fact that she led negotiations on a bipartisan bill seems to have cemented her belief that it would all work that way if she were in charge, despite infrastructure being the only subject on which Republicans have been willing to consider big spending.

          And even that only for the kind of infrastructure historically built by men in hardhats. Not the kind of infrastructure that women have historically been expected to provide for free.

          Michael Bloomberg was a billionaire with a track record of successful executive leadership in the most important city in America. Kyrsten Sinema is a random senator. I'm genuinely astounded to hear she thinks she could be president.

          Doesn't almost every senator thinks they could be president? More senators have made it to the presidency than New York city mayors.

          Yeah. But the difference is billions Former Congressperson Gabbard, maybe. I can't ignore the pivoting in Sinema's career. She started out as a Green Party member in AZ. She supported things then she no longer supports Mr. Billions can afford to Evolve; Sinema did hard shifts

          Also Rudy, both mayors of NYC. And come to think of it, Lindsay, back in the day.

          Does she really think she could win a Dem primary though? Or is there a Yang/Sinema third party ticket in our future? God help us
