Why Doug Jones, why!? Voting for him won't get you re-elected! Meanwhile, Sinema continues to disappoint. And Manchin is being Manchin. You know something's wrong when Rand Paul makes you look bad.

You may not have that extra seat from Arizona if Sinema had not run. And you definitely would not have Manchin's seat, as that would have been an automatic Republican pickup if he had not run for reelection.

D's still would have won that. People voted for Sinema because she was a D. Any crossover support she got was lost by the Green vote. It still amazes me how liberal Jon Tester acts.

You sure about that? I doubt that an ardent progressive would have won.

I don't think they're talking an ardent progressive, I think they're talking about a mainstream liberal.
