    I’m relatively unconvinced by laying all the blame on them. The president is the leader of his party and has the massive power of the bully pulpit to help bring them into line. He was unable or unwilling to do that.

      Question: what party is Sinema in now?

      It’s pretty evident now Sinema could not be bullied if she was willing to immolate her career over even the soft demands made of her.
