If you scan the wasteland of righteous anger that is Twitter today, you’ll see lots and lots of people lashing out at Sen. Sinema over her refusal to bypass the filibuster so Democrats can pass a voting rights bill. Here’s a small sample:

That speech today from @SenatorSinema was a JOKE.

Rubin called her speech a “moral disgrace.”

Sinema is effectively asking the authors of Jim Crow and vote-rigging to give their permission for her to stop it. This is worse than incoherent or cowardice. It's a moral disgrace. Ask the segregationists for permission to vote for Civil Rights Act?

O’Donnell just call it “stupid.”

Sinema delivers the Senate’s stupidest speech by a Democrat in an edge of tears voice to give childish words a melodramatic effect.

Joy Reid added that it was smug.

So, I was sitting here composing a text, trying to give words to my irritation at @SenatorSinema’s smug, self-important speech today, but never mind. @Lawrence said it better. https://t.co/Ai4c4buhC4

Apparently, comparing her and Manchin to Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis didn’t count as negative.

Trump bullied members of his party who opposed his agenda so ruthlessly that many didn’t run for re-election. Has Biden said a single negative thing about Sinema or Manchin?

For Democrats, Occam’s razor means assuming your opponent is racist because that’s always the simplest explanation.

I'm not kidding about @kyrstensinema – it's all about race. If you're wondering what the "Sinema secret" is, that's it. Black people. There's no real mystery here. Plain old bigot. Occam's razor. The mask is off.

Democrats were trying to out-extreme one another in their denunciations.

How do the staff of @SenatorSinema not resign at the shame of being handmaidens to the death of Democracy? Are they actually Democrats or are e Trump lobbyists? https://t.co/kE8tIzZsRL

And of course there was lots of talk about primaries to come.

If Sinema enraged you today, you can do more than tweet. Make a pledge to fund a primary challenge if she doesn't reverse course and vote to end the filibuster at https://t.co/VekR5AAwUi.

But one activist claimed to have the inside scoop on why Sen. Sinema is so willing to risk a primary challenge. According to Amy Siskind, an unnamed source told her Sinema plans to run for president.

First, and this likely isn't breaking news to anyone: Sinema has a highly overinflated ego. She believes since she has been able to work her way up, and accumulate so many academic degrees in a short time, she is a true super star -head and shoulders above intellectually.

But nope, I was wrong. That isn't what Sinema believes will be her next step. With her inflated ego and small circle of friends, many of whom she has alienated and lost, not pushing back, she has been living in an echo chamber. The big $$$ corp donors are happy to feed this.

Finally, she gets to the big reveal.

And you can see why having alienated so many close to her, & believing she is smarter than everyone else in DC and beyond, and with the corporate donors feeding this too while she tows their line, this misguided fantasy can be her view.

This I am told is what is happening.

She might toe the line but she won’t tow the line. In any case, Siskind says believes she can beat Trump in 2024.

I have known about this for a few months, but did not want to betray my friend’s confidence. And he assumed the media would come knocking and find this story – it is well known in Sinema’s inner circle! But they never did, so today he messaged me and said time to go public!

— Amy Siskind 🏳️‍🌈 (@Amy_Siskind) January 13, 2022

Is there any truth to this? I wish I knew but at first glance it sounds a bit far-fetched. If Sinema believes she’ll struggle to win re-election in Arizona, why would she assume she could run as a Democrat and win nationwide? Arizona is much friendlier to maverick politicians willing to buck their party than, say, California or New York, two states she’d need to win as a Democrat.

Of course it’s possible I’m misreading tweet #7. Maybe Siskind is saying Sinema plans to run in the GOP primary against Trump? I’m actually not sure what she means. Neither option sounds very likely.

But things could look a lot different in two years than they do now. Republicans might control the House and Senate. Biden could rebound or ongoing inflation could have him stuck in the low 30% approval range. And not to be indelicate but Biden will be 81 years old in 2024 and Trump will be 78. There’s no way to know for sure if either of them will be able to run a difficult campaign for more than a year. So it does seem possible to me that this could become a race between two other candidates most people aren’t focused on right now. I guess we’ll have to wait another 12-18 months to see if Sinema makes any big announcements about her future plans.
