Bobby suggests that Republicans should try to induce Kyrsten Sinema to come over to the GOP caucus in the Senate, and possibly join the party:

Sinema is, of course, always welcome to switch caucuses, but what Bobby is talking about here is Republicans’ backing her reelection in 2024. And while this would be a clever move for Republicans, not everything that is clever is wise or necessary. Getting Sinema to join the GOP is neither wise nor necessary for Republicans and conservatives, and switching parties would be of dubious value to her.
