The National Republican Senate Committee have decided that painting useless “independent” Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema as too liberal for Arizona is the key to putting batshit Nazi 2022 gubernatorial loser Kari Lake ahead of the incumbent and Dem Congressman Ruben Gallego in the Grand Canyon State’s 2024 Senate race, Politico Playbook reports on the bizarro world strategy slapped together in response to polling repeatedly showing Sinema splitting votes off from Lake.
Sinema hasn’t even said whether she’s running again yet, but even she knows there’s almost zero chance she’ll still be a Senator come January 2025. If out of hubris or – far less likely – some secret sense of duty and desire to partially redeem herself she does knowing that she’ll help Gallego against Lake, the NRSC’s strategy sort of makes sense if this was the home stretch. Now they’re just telegraphing their weakness and maybe even encouraging Sinema to stick with it and fuck them.
