A two-page document obtained by NBC News maps out a possible independent Senate bid, touting Sinema’s record and suggesting she’d win over more Republicans than Democrats.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, the Arizona Democrat-turned-independent, hasn’t publicly announced whether she’s running for re-election next year. But privately, her political team has been mapping out a campaign strategy, pitching donors and potential supporters on how she can win the marquee Senate race.

In a two-page prospectus obtained by NBC News, Sinema charts out a path to victory as an independent candidate in Arizona, with a glimpse of her possible campaign message and new details about the unique cross-party coalition she would seek to build in the competitive state.

Under the banner “Kyrsten’s Path to Victory,” the document says Sinema can win by attracting 10% to 20% of Democrats, 60% to 70% of independents and 25% to 35% of Republicans.

    That might not be the worst position for her to take. She’s already burned any bridges she may have had with AZ Democrats, so there’s no point trying to take votes from Gallego. If the Republicans put up a batshit candidate like Kari Lake, Sinema can try to scoop up the few remaining non-crazy Republican voters and conservative-leaning independents. She’ll still lose though, because she fucking sucks.
