Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, an Arizona independent, announced Tuesday she will retire at the end of her term this year, blaming growing partisanship and mudslinging in Washington for driving her decision to not run for reelection.
she's definitely alienated her base enough that she can't get re-elected but if she'd actually alienated her political allies they would have kicked her off committees or even out of the party entirely
Damn turns out it's hard to run for Senate when you've alienated your entire voter base and all of your political allies
Who could have possibly predicted this?

She left her party willingly so that she could garner support from the other party and the private sector.
Why bother running again when she's likely got some cushy consulting gigs lined up.
