Kyrsten Sinema Basks in a Well Deserved 'I Told You So' Moment Aimed at Her Former Dem Senate Colleagues

One thing about tables, they always turn. This is a concept Kyrsten Sinema understood. Her Senate colleagues, however, did not. So when she refused to vote with them to end the filibuster, they were very very mad at her and basically ran her out of DC. Now, they should all be sending her fruit baskets.

Senate Democrats are set to rekindle their love for the very procedural tool they spent years trying to weaken: the filibuster.

Soon to be in the minority, Democrats are ready to use whatever tactics are at their disposal to put up roadblocks for Republicans and President-elect Donald Trump — including the 60-vote threshold many have long sought to abolish.

“I’d be lying if I said we’d be in a better position without the filibuster,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said. “We have a responsibility to stop autocratic and long-headed abuse of power or policy, and we’ll use whatever tools we have available. We’re not going to fight this battle with one hand tied behind our back.”

They owe Sinema so much gratitude.

Democrats acknowledge the hypocrisy in their position. But they are staring down a GOP trifecta with a Republican House of Representatives, Senate, and White House.

“I’m going to try not to make a mess of my position on this one,” said Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI), who’s long advocated the legislative filibuster’s elimination.

“You play with the rules that exist,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said.

Sinema is likely waiting by the phone for those apologies.

Sinema was one of the few good Democrats. 

It's a good idea to be an adult and recognize your party won't always win. 

The answer is probably no, but they deserve all the 'thank yous'. 

They won't and never have because the GOP recognizes what is best for the ongoing good health of the nation.

Their egos would never allow it.
