re: #273 No Malarkey!

Spitballing about Sinema here. Assuming she is running for reelection in 2024, if the Democrats think Arizona could be the 50th seat, allowing them to retain control of the Senate, then the smart, if galling, move is to back Sinema and not run a Democrat in 2024. Even an awful Republican candidate like Masters will get at least 46% of the vote, virtually ensuring a GOP victory in a three way race. However, 2024 is a very tough map for the Democrats, so if they think they are going to lose control of the Senate anyway, they can clear Sinema out of the picture by running a credible Democratic candidate in 2024, then plan on trying to regain the seat in 2030 if a Republican wins.
