88. FWIW, she seems totally indifferent to criticism from Arizonans who supported her.

She truly seems indifferent to criticism, regardless of where it comes from.

She's been trended on Twitter, the recipient of tons of criticism here in Arizona, including in our newspapers.

It really has me heartsick and questioning my judgment, because of all the things I worried about over the last three years, inside betrayal from Sinema was not on my radar. I've read about her background and tried to understand her, but I can't reconcile her past with her present decision-making. After a dozen or so letters over the last year, I no longer even write to her.
