Considering that Sinema's favorables among Democrats were in the teens BEFORE pulling that stunt, I doubt that many of them will vote for her as an independent.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our American friends.

“Be realistic. How could Trump beat a popular Florida Governor backed by the entire Republican establishment?”

To be fair, DeSantis reminds me more of Scott Walker.

Well, it finally happened. At least momentarily, the Arizona GOP became too crazy for Arizonans. I'm trying not to get too elated or hopeful. I'm reminding myself that this is probably the one time in my life where Fox news isn't totally lying to me. If Donald Trump didn't endorse so many unelectab...

Up until election day the Democrats hoped that Republicans wouldn't pick up more than 25-30 seats. The fact that there is still a chance to maintain their majority is nothing short of amazing.

Congratulations to my fellow veterans, Mark Kelly and Az. Secretary-of-State Elect Adrian Fontes, on this Veterans Day.

It also seems that all the inroads Obama and Hillary made the past decade amo...

Is there a reason Mister Tee doesn't write anymore about politics?
I always found his posts very interesting and analytical.

What's really amazing was that Bernie Sanders' institute had proudly awarded her with a fellowship for her "progressive" policies and repudiated her only today, after years of sucking up to Assad, Putin, and Trump.

Do you think that a string of military wins by Ukraine will improve Democrats' chances in the midterm elections? I know that congressional Republicans have more or less supported Biden's pro-Ukraine policies but on the other hand Trump and his cultists have been very vocal about their support to his...

He can thank Sam Alito for that.

Federal elections, not state elections. And Moore primarily deals with redistricting (although I suppose SCOTUS could change that if they went full whacko). And state legislators do not bear sole responsibility. There's still the federal government to answer to. Maybe. But this guy is freaked out. ...
