Kyrsten Sinema doesn't care one bit if she wins re-election, according to a new book.

"I can go on any board I want to. I can be a college president. I can do anything," she said.

Sinema told Romney said she saved the filibuster and the Senate and that's "good enough for me."

Getting real “I am the main character” vibes from this wretch.
- If we can't handle her at her worst, we don't deserve her at her best
  
  What if we can't handle her at her best?
- That’s a weird way to spell “conceited cunt.”
doesn't care one bit if she wins re-election
= Fuck you
"I can go on any board I want to."
= I got mine
What a lovely sentiment from a public servant.
- Ahh the conservative mantra.
Just like DeSantis post-2025, I'll boycott and badmouth any company that hires her stupid ass.
- Odds are you already are.
This asshole cares more about her post-Senate media career than doing the right thing by her constituents.
Everyone saw her cute little thumbs-down to paying people a living wage; she shouldn't earn one either. Unfortunately the corporate media loves "moderates" like Sinema, so I guarantee she'll get a cozy gig from MSNBC or FOX.
- She then ran up begging for Mitch McConnell's attention and he ignored her till she slinked away.
  
  To be fair, he could have just been having one of his quiet moments to himself.
What a smug asshole. Saved the Senate...wtf?
It's nice that she is making the cash grab obvious.
- In the interests fairness sinema wasn't directly quoted saying this. From the article:
  According to reporter McKay Coppins's new book, "Romney: A Reckoning," Sinema once told Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah that she could "do anything" once she's out of office and feels that what she's done in the Senate is "good enough."
As an Arizonan it is my life's mission to make sure she loses.
- Don't forget to trash her post career too.
  
  Unfortunately, she's got a point. Her owners paid for the service and they'll leave the money on the nightstand.
Doesn't surprise me that she's a deluded narcissist.
- That isn't appropriate
  
  Sinema’s behavior isn’t appropriate.
  I don’t like the c word, either, but I don’t see it as sexist in this case. She went out of her way to earn it.
  
  Why are Americans such prudes?
  
  It absolutely is.
funny when terrible people put it in writing themselves. it would be more funny if she didnt fuck over a ton of people in the process
- To be e fair. This is from a book about mitt Romney. She wasn't being quoted directly.
Any MAGA affiliated board needs to have its whole organization declared a terrorist group and denied access to US and world banking systems. Those are the only ones that support her as she's been on the payroll from the getgo.
Delusional.
- It's narcissistic and douchey. But it's unfortunately not delusion. It's hard to deny she had an impact. She wreaked havoc in the Senate. And now she has a golden ticket to go on to sit on boards, be ceo of something, or just be a public speaker and get paid shit tonnes of money. The system is set up for Senators
- If this is accurately reported then it definitely shows her priorities. I'm not going to lie I'm nervous that a threeway Arizona Senate race is going to make Keri lake a senator. We'll see when the race heats up.
- Who? She knows exactly what she's doing, and isn't apologizing for it. She's 100% Republican, an opportunistic narcissistic liar grifter, and always has been.
Saved the senate? For who?
- Her and manchin publicly argue that getting rid of the filibuster would allow republicans to gut the social safety net when/if they take control of government. I think that's a bad argument though because there's always another election and if Republicans did do that then votes could put Democrats back in power to restore and/or improve everything.
  
  I guess we could flip flop on stuff like that but the folks screwed over during the interim are going to have a really bad time.
  Of course that's also assuming some Democrats aren't convinced (💰) to go along and we never get these program back. And if we do then we lose them again when the Republicans manage to up their voter suppression & gerrymandering game.
  
  if Republicans did do that then votes could put Democrats back in power to restore and/or improve everything.
  Except it takes a lot more time, effort and money to rebuild something than it does to destroy it.
  As the Bigen administration is currently experiencing.
So she connived her way into power purely for the clout and opportunities it would give her, I guess that's pretty par for the course.
- So, you're saying she's the run of the mill, common American politician?
  
  One with all the pretence removed.
Blessed are the meek...
- Idk, sounds like the kind of shit someone who's scared of a revolution would say.
Who?
I bet she doesn't. What a greedy dickhead.
- Ah yes. I was wondering where I heard "save the Senate" before
- Someone needs to toss her down a long shaft.
The last part of that sentence is unfortunately true.
I thought we had "revolving door" policies at the federal level. Maybe that's something we need to have, like a lot of other things.
- My understanding is that they're are no limitations on members of Congress after they leave office. Trump did put a ban on people on his administration becoming lobbyists, I think it was a five year ban, but he rescinded it towards the end of his term.
  
  It's pretty sad that my state ethics process is stricter than the federal government's.
