She still caucuses with the democrats, and still votes with them.   So while symbolic, not much anything else.

She's concerned about her re-election, and this is a pre-emptive move.   

If she was truly an independent, she needs to act as one.

These are my feelings as well. Leave it to Cocaine Mitch to fall in love with her “Maverick” style and give her some deference for her leftist bills.

She sees which way the winds are blowing in Arizona and is making sure that the distances herself (in name only) from the democrats.  But nothing about her voting or mindset has changed.

It's nice to see the lefties get all upset about it though.
