McSally didn't attack Sinema enough on her background, stuff like calling US soldiers terrorists, her liberal views during her tenure in the state house/senate, links to the green party, calling Arizonans crazy, pink tutu, Iraq war,, etc. Instead of doing that McSally sat on her ass and let this fake moderate Sinema smear her troughout the election season.
I'm sure attacking someone on the Iraq war will work lol.

That is basically the strategy that she used it just didn't work.

Pretty much. The Republicans went all out on demonizing women in the election. Here in TX-07, you couldn't go one television commercial or YouTube video without the same Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF) ad with grainy pictures of Nancy Pelosi and Lizzie Fletcher, saying they supported the scary "liberal mob" (basically pictures of some sexual assault survivors protesting Kavanaugh). Sometimes I'd literally see the exact same commercial back-to-back, or 2-3 times in the same commercial break.
Now that, my friends, is pure lunacy

imagine trying to defend Kavanaugh in a Clinton +1 district that just swung 21 points to the left in 2016.
