Sen. Krysten Sinema (D-AZ) was the only Dem standing and applauding during portions of President Trump’s SOTU speech last night when he talked about the economy under his watch:
That was Sen. Krysten Sinema, a D from Arizona, standing up to cheer Trump just now

How do Dems not cheer unemployment dropping?
Not a good look. #SOTU puts Dems in a bad spot. https://t.co/PfRQO95a82

She even clapped for tax cuts:
Sinema clapping for tax cuts makes me think she has no interest in being anyone’s VP

And the look on Sen. Kamala Harris’ face is an instant classic:

Watch:
Democrats refuse to clap for record low unemployment, record low poverty levels.
Absolutely pathetic. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/J7R96OQMb5

It’s nice to see a little bipartisanship every now-and-again, no?
Thanks Kyrsten! Working across the aisle on good ideas shouldn’t be such a foreign concept. https://t.co/wgb578vsvO

And her response:
Couldn’t be prouder to support your work transforming communities, and lucky to call you a friend. https://t.co/wtLtKLwERH
