In a Twitter thread [...] , David Schapira—a former candidate for Congress and one-time minority leader of the Arizona State Senate—described his time working closely with Sinema in the statehouse, and her eventual decision to run against him in an open race for the newly-created 9th Congressional District in 2012.
[...]
While he praised Sinema's values and her intelligence, he said the Democratic Senator's decision to leave the party—and potentially sabotaging opportunities for progressives to win the seat—was nothing more than a reflection of who she was then: a person willing to win at all costs.
[...]
"As she leaves the political party and the voters who gave her political life, people will say she is crazy or stupid, but those people don't know her," he added. "She is level-headed and brilliant, but she will stop at nothing and step on anyone to get what she wants."

Talk about a grasp of the obvious.He wrote [...] that both he and Sinema were running for office in Arizona and the two promised each other they wouldn’t go “negative” or run attack campaigns out of respect for their friendship. Spoiler alert: She did anyway, Schapira tells New Abnormal co-host, Danielle Moodie.

Schapira also said that when Sinema and he started out running together, she asked him to hold off for 4 years so she could win the seat they were both wanting, after which she'd support him for it. When he asked her why she'd do that, she told him it was because, if the highest achievement of her life was that seat, she'd be very disappointed in herself.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
