Not a reliable source. Not a realistic prospect.

If she does she will crash and burn. See might be popular with NeverTrumpers, but that is probably about it.

She's presidential material but she should wait. Perhaps sometime between 2028-2036 would be better.

She needs a strong base of support and what would hers be? Pro-filibuster, narcissistic bisexuals?

I'm very skeptical about the source here, but this would 1000% be in-character for her.

She's the millennials answer to Bill Clinton and I think she'd be able to unite the party well, despite her relatively conservative positions. I doubt I'd vote for her, but I think she'd have enough support to win.

If she runs all she will do is either a. spoil the election for Republican (if she runs as an independent) or b. cause unnecessary division in the party (if she primaries Biden). Needless to say, if she did either, she'd quickly become persona non-grata in the party.

At least she'd have some goodwill left with Arizonans. She would get a hard lesson if she asked black voters in South Carolina and Georgia for their votes.

She seems crazy and narcissistic enough to run as a third party, which I'm pretty certain the Republicans she answers to will push her to do anyway.

Bill Clinton didn't gain nationwide notoriety for blocking the entire Democratic agenda without even giving reason; except to politicos who remembered his '88 speech, he was a clean slate to Democratic primary voters in '92. Clinton was one of the best speakers in modern politics, with a unique ability to make his flip-flops seem genuine, his right-wing positions seem in line with traditional liberalism (see: his NAFTA and welfare speeches), and dodge scandals; Sinema doesn't even give proper interviews, and when she does, she doubles down on the reasons people hate her. Do you really think she can tell a voters she "feels their pain" and have them believe her? Would she even bother to tell people she feels her pain?

Clinton also won the primary in one of the weakest primary fields in recent years. If Sinema primaried Biden, then her most obvious base — centrists — are not going to defect from an incumbent centrist president, especially not for the Senator who blocked the president's trademark legislation. She wouldn't fare any better in a relatively open, Biden-less primary. The Sandernistas would make her public enemy #1, smearing her st every corner like they did for Buttigieg and Bloomberg. Generic Dems will stick with Harris. Being young and LGBT won't help her anymore than it did for Buttigieg, as most young LGBTQ people lean progressive, and the conservadems are more likely to be hesitant to vote for a LGBT person. Buttigieg is a moderate New Dem, but  the base of his politics is still essentially socially liberal; Sinema's politics are Blue Dog in an era where all the Blue Dog voters now vote Republican — those aren't social liberals.

MLK III already said he doesn't support Sinema and his supporters will be crucial as well as Clyburn in SC and she would lose SC to Harris easily

She has no base she's gonna lose. Who will vote for her? And she doesn't have enough appeal to win the general even if she gets through a primary.

I honestly don’t think she would care.

Sinema's primary motivation isn't ideology, or principles, or even money. It's clear that, above all else, she loves being hated. The larger the margin she loses by, the happier she'll be. I for one, welcome her spoiler campaign, as the votes she gets from her immediate family won't actually be enough to influence the election either way, so it's a win for everyone. She gets to be repudiated on a national stage and the rest of us won't have to deal with her anymore - the ultimate win for everyone

I'm skeptical, but this does seem like something she would do. It would be hilarious if she did end up running. Democrats don't like her, Republicans only like her because she's a thorn in the Democrats' side, so her base would be...The Lincoln Project?

Not sure I believe this, but she'd have no chance anyway.

According to Amy Siskind, Kyrsten Sinema could be a presidential contender.
