  Again, it's not about him winning over Sinema, that's not the issue, it's if Sinema will spoil the race and get the Republican candidate elected because she'll siphon off votes that otherwise would have gone to the generic Democrat on the ballot.  Democrats who are paying attention aren't going to vote for Sinema, but there are a LOT of low information and moderate voters who would reliably vote for any Democrat in a D v R race, but might go for Sinema in a 3rd person race (for whatever reason, name recognition, prefer a moderate, etc.), and it will only take 1 percentage point or two to throw a race.
context: The accusations “paint a picture of a Senator who is not only unresponsive to her constituents, but also disrespectful and even abusive to her employees and wholly unconcerned about her obligations under the law,”  
  “Most troubling,” the letter alleges, Sinema, who recently switched from the Democratic Party to govern as an Independent, “calls on staff members, who are employed and paid by the public and explicitly barred from campaign activity, to schedule and facilitate political fundraisers and meetings with campaign donors, presumably during the workday while they are on the clock and physically on federal property. >
  
  Quoting what your policy is doesn't constitute a denial. 
  
  Following The Daily Beast article in December, Sinema spokeswoman Hannah Hurley insisted that the senator “does not require staff to perform personal errands,” and that “the alleged information—sourced from anonymous quotes and a purported document I can’t verify—is not in line with official guidance from Sen. Sinema’s office and does not represent official policies of Sen. Sinema’s office.” >
  
  After Ms Hurley made this statement, she resumed her job painting Ms Sinema's backyard fence. >
  
  Ms Hurley complained that Ms Sinema tricked her by pretending to take great delight painting said fence when in fact it was a deceit intended to lure Ms Hurley into a life of subservience. >
  
  in fact, Ms Hurley paid Ms Sinema for the privilege of painting the fence! >
  
  Ms Hurley paid out of her personal funds the full cost of the paint (color being Cruella Icequeen Frost) she personally selected at Lowes during work hours as an assigned task 💅🏻 >
  
  Ethics complaints are useless. Four years of the Trump administration proved it. >
  
  That’s the sad truth, and it gets gutted more and more. >
  
  One things for fuckin sure - AZ needs better. 
  Fuck off Sinema. Gallego will trounce you. And he's more awesome anyway. >
  
  
  Gallego will trounce you.
  
  Nothing is certain until it is.  He can win, but there's no guarantee he will and he ONLY will if everyone that does not want Sinema and lives in AZ, actively organizes and campaigns for Gallego starting now.
  There was a similar scenario in the OR Governor's race this past election and it was nail biter, not because the "left-leaning Independent" was likely to win, but because she absolutely acted as a spoiler candidate for the Democrat in the race (who eventually did win but it was far too close). >
  
  I don't know if you live here, but I'm already being bombarded with multiple texts and emails campaigning for him. I have very little doubt he'll win over Sinema. He polls very well here, and she polls very unfavorably, so it's not really as long a shot as you'd think.
