    During a debate between McSally and Sinema during the last senate race, Sinema spoke in a standard debate format while McSally mainly engaged in mudslinging against Sinema. Once she saw that she was losing the debate her voice and words suddenly became hateful and vicious. It revealed an aspect of her that was shocking. When a politician ever uses low-life mudslinging as a campaign tactic, I immediately cross them off my 'vote for' list, even if they are a member of my Party.
