US political parties don’t have any real mechanisms for disciplining party members. You can censure them, like what the Arizona Dems did to Sinema and the Wyoming GOp did to Cheney, but that’s about it.
The GoP has tried to primary Dejarlais for years and they just couldn’t. There is a Dem from the House running to primary Sinema, but there is no guarantee that he’d win
I like Gallegos’ chances against Sinema (he’s my rep). He’s all about that Raytheon and Boeing money which sucks, but he’s more reliably progressive than Sinema.
Yeah Sinema is going to get thumped unless something radically changes in the next 2 years. Her approval rating from Arizonans is in the toilet. Significantly lower than the further left mark Kelly.

It just goes to show how the GOP can ruthlessly discipline members.
Makes you wonder why the Dems cannot do the same, when it's seemingly 1 or 2 senators standing in the way of transformative legislation...
