Kyrsten Sinema's politics may be unnecessarily moderate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Analysis by Harry Enten, CNN

Democratic hopes for passing big legislation through the Senate rely on Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. Both have made things difficult for Senate Democrats because they are moderates who have been hesitant to pass big spending packages.

But while Democrats are lucky to have a Democrat of any ideological persuasion representing West Virginia, they may not be getting the best bang for their buck from Sinema.

Sinema has, for the last few years, had the same ideological record as Manchin. As I've noted before, Manchin's ideological record is about the best Democrats can hope for from West Virginia.

But Democrats can hope for more from an Arizona Democrat. Their party has a much easier time winning in Arizona than West Virginia.

1. Why don't Dems plaster positive poll results all over Arizona media?

The bill is popular all over the country, including Republicans and Independents.

There are dozens of Dem organizations - why don’t they put full page ads up in Arizona and WV newspapers that herald the popularity of the programs funded by the bill?

3. They should be doing this in WV as well.

It's even more popular there. It's support is at +22 with likely republican voters there!

4. Plus she won her Senate seat with positions considerably more liberal than her voting record.

She was all for tackling climate change and reducing health care costs until it came time to pass legislation that did exactly that.

5. She is not a moderate.

She is a rightwing Democrat.

6. She is a Green! Nothing moderate about her. Just hates Democrats. Like Nader.

Next time, run Democrats on our ticket, not our opponents.
