Kyrsten sinema right now? are they going to hold firm? rex they are going to hold firm. we as republicans cannot depend on manchin and sinema to do our job. we need to be out there communicating our message that we are the great opportunity party. that we want people to come in and support our policies. that we are going to be there to support security, to fight the crime in the streets, to solve inflation, to solve the supply-chain crisis. all of those issues that people want to see solved righ...
