And that is why I have a subscription the Atlantic. I don't use it often, but it's articles like this one that makes it worthwhile. Excellent article. I don't view Romney the same as you, but we can both agree he is at the least a principled man and one I will miss as the last bastion of any moral compass or logic in Republicans. 

Atlantic has some solid work

Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are unprincipled show horses  - and Sinema in particular is a total sellout with contempt for her own constituents. Neither of them will be in elected office come 2025, thankfully.

 

I will give some kudos to Manchin though on leading the effort to ram through the Electorcal Count Act Reform of 2022 bill. That is a bigger contribution to the future of our democracy than many people realize.

 

Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona announced Tuesday that she won’t run for a second term after her estrangement from the Democratic Party left her politically homeless and without a clear path to reelection.

 

Sinema’s announcement comes after Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan bill to help secure the border and deliver military aid to Ukraine and Israel, which Sinema spent months negotiating. She’d hoped it would be a signature achievement addressing one of Washington’s most intractable challenges, as well as a powerful endorsement for her increasingly lonely view that cross-party dealmaking remains possible. But in the end, Sinema’s border-security ambitions, and her career in Congress, were swallowed by the partisanship that has paralyzed Congress.

The both sides argument doesn't apply any longer. Sinema finally figured that out.

Honestly? I doubt she has.

Probably not, but I was making the point of she figured it out the hard way. It doesn't mean it's actually set in.

But maybe it did, and it should be a shot across the bow for anyone thinking along those lines.

I think all she figured out was that she couldn’t win another election
