Sen. Kyrsten Sinema was done in by politics and her own ego

Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema announced what has been obvious for a while now. She’s not running for reelection.

Sadly, I doubt there will be many around the state who will miss her.

She was the first Arizona Democrat in three decades to win a U.S. Senate seat, campaigning on a pledge to work with anybody to get stuff done.

Since then, she’s done just what she promised. She charted a middle course, in search of solutions that have bipartisan support.

Then she learned a hard lesson.

That’s not what we really want. Or if it is, it’s not enough.
