Another story about Democrats eating their own. This time it's because Democrat Senator Sinema of Arizona is voting too often with Republicans. The resistance in the party doesn't like it. The people seem to be fine with it.
Democrats LOVED John McCain when he was a "Maverick" and stabbing his Republican party in the back. But if you're a Democrat, you better not damn vote with Republicans. Yeah, it's that LIB hypocrisy thing going again.
Senator Sinema is doing exactly what she told voters of Arizona when she was running for election. Sinema promised to be independent and a centrist. That's probably why she became the first Democrat Senator from Arizona in 30 years. But her colleagues don't damn like it at all.
A website that tracks congressional votes called FiveThirtyEight shows that she has voted with Republicans 54% of the time. Looks "centrist" to me. The senator is enjoying very decent approval ratings at 62%, and Democrats approve of her by a margin of 82%.
Democrats eating their own might be a problem with voters. Of course, the party always puts the party before America.

Re: U.S. Politics
The BBC interviewed Americans who supported Trump in the months before the election in 2016. The BBC asked why. These Americans have said exactly what I and others on this forum have said as the reasons why.
No politician has fought for Americans and America since Reagan -- almost 40 years now. Trump not only fights, but keeps his promises.
Found it odd that the BBC didn't interview anyone of color. Other than that, the People tell it like it is.

Prior to Trump's visit to the border to view the WALL, he attended 4 major fundraising events in both Northern and Southern California. Estimates are that he raised upwards of $15 million in just that one day.
People forget that almost 4.5 million people in California voted for Trump. He still has support there.
STEADY WINNING.

A May 2011 Hamilton College analysis of 26 politicians, journalists, and media commentators who made predictions in major newspaper columns or television news shows from September 2007 to December 2008 found that Krugman was the most accurate. Only nine of the prognosticators predicted more accurately than chance, two were significantly less accurate, and the remaining 14 were no better or worse than a coin flip. Krugman was correct in 15 out of 17 predictions, compared to 9 out of 11 for the next most accurate media figure, Maureen Dowd.[99]

5 Times Trump's Favorite Economic Advisor Has Been Spectacularly Wrong About the Economy
President Trump plans to name Larry Kudlow as his top economic advisor.
There’s just one problem with that idea: The longtime television personality, who would gain a key role in shaping U.S. economic policy, has a well-known history of making some shockingly wrong financial predictions..........

Krugman's nonsense prediction is reality, and MAGAnomics proved Krugman's prediction to be nonsense.

US Commerce Department reports that housing starts and permits have reached a 12 YEAR HIGH.
Main Street is thriving.
The Commerce Department report also showed that permit applications for future home construction is higher than at any time since 2007.
Since Trump won, wages and benefits have increased at a clip that easily outpaces inflation. More than a million workers have now moved into the middle class.

Existing home sales in the US rose to a 17 MONTH HIGH in August -- the second straight month showing gains. Yet another sign -- besides new home construction -- that mortgage rates are affordable for Main Street.
Data from the National Assoc of Realtors shows an increase of 5.4 million units in both July and August. Both numbers beat economist's expectations.
Existing home sales usually account for more than 85% of ALL US home sales.
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate has dropped to around 3.5%.

Re: U.S. Politics
It is my opinion that President Trump will never engage in war with Iran. He will very likely substantially withdraw U.S. troops and other military resources from Afghanistan during his present term in office. To do otherwise would harm Americans and others.

Firing Bolton supports that view but Iran can be pretty provocative.

Spartacus is in 4th place in his home state of New Jersey. No surprise to me. Booker gets a whopping 9%. Sleepy Joe led with 26%.
As for Booker's approval as a Senator, 45% approve and 37% disapprove. The most shocking number is that ALMOST 20% have no opinion of his performance as senator. Wow.
Spartacus has the unenviable distinction of reminding many, many people of someone else.

As Warren continues her march north in the polls, the talk of concern grows louder among those who cherish free enterprise. Who cherishes free enterprise? Both Main Street and Wall Street.
While Wall Street isn't happy with Trump's decoupling of the two Streets and Trump's foreign policy on China, Wall Street is especially unhappy with a presidential candidate like Gramma Lizzie, who attacks free enterprise success every chance she gets.
I've read at least three articles in the last week that indicate that if Warren is the Democrat nominee, she will get major pushback nationwide for her policies that seize, regulate, tax and dictate. Lizzie is about bank-bashing and wealth taxes. Lizzie definitely wants to redistribute wealth and penalize achievers, and she doesn't hide it. There's no question that her policies and programs would harm the economy -- and definitely harm BOTH Main Street and Wall Street.
Some analysts are expecting as much as a 25% decline in the stock market, which will end the Bull Market run.

The LIB Thug Mob has announced that they will be gathering at the private residence of Aurora ICE processing center warden Johnny Choate.
Why? Because he's doing his job and helping to enforce federal immigration law.
This LIB Thug Mob effort is being conducted by Abolish ICE Denver, Denver Communists, and Denver Action Network.
The mission of Democrats now is to pressure people through intimidation, boycotts and physical violence. They are attempting to undo the Constitution at its source: The Individual American. Force Americans into silence and convince them to ignore the law and that doing their lawful job isn't worth the backlash that they'll receive from the LIB Thug Mob.
I will bet that not one Democrat will denounce this effort of intimidation of a federal officer and his family.

Another win for Trump in the courts!
US District Court Judge Morrison England issued a temporary injunction against the State of California that prevents the state from requiring presidential candidates to release their tax returns.
Judge England cited the “irreparable harm without temporary relief” clause that the California law would cause for candidates.
Candidates already have to comply with what is known as the Ethics In Government Act (EIGA). Trump routinely files this report annually, which provides an overview of his finances.
Judge England seems to think that filing EIGA is enough.
