One note for Sinema that I discovered after reading into her the past week that I haven't seen a lot of talking about in the places I frequent: I think progressives within our party are going to hate her. Republicans have been running ads of her being some fringe lunatic, tutu wearing anti war activist that is just a younger prettier Bernie Sanders.

I've shown the 538 tracking page where it documents how often senators vote with Trump. Donnelly scored a 53.8. Heitkamp was a 54.4. Manchin, who I'm sure everyone has seen people complaining about at some point, topped the Dems at 60.8. Well, they did that with the house too.

Sinema is a 62.2. She's more conservative than Joe Manchin. And, unlike Joe Manchin, she isn't from some deep red state. Based on partisanship, the ideal senator from Arizona would vote with Trump 59.5 percent of the time. So she's actually more conservative than a replacement senator from Arizona. Jeff Flake was "only" a 84.0. So she is closer to Jeff Flak than any other member of her party outside of Warner, Jones, and Manchin (everyone else that is above 40.4 either just got kicked out of congress or is an independent).

(McSally was a 97.8 so we're definitely rooting for Sinema here)

The National Journal scores her as 57% liberal and 43% conservative. There are only three democrats more conservative than her in the entire house.

The strange thing here is that all the slander and ads against her showing her from when she was like 25 might have worked. A lot of people on like r/politics or Twitter thinks she's going to be some liberal savior. I just think a lot of people are going to be disappointed if she gets in the senate and starts voting.
