The big question. How did people as far left as Gillums in FL and Abrams in Georgia come so close to becoming governor? Same for O'Roarke in TX and Sinema in AZ in the Senate?
Thoughts anyone?

Because a large number of people that voted for them have no idea how far left they are. They are not informed.

Be relieved that yesterday's election wasn't the threatened "blue wave" sweep -- thanks in part to an economy that is booming in the absence of the awful Obama policies and thanks in part to an opposition party that has near-totally lost its mind.
Be concerned that after dealing out such a winning hand to the Republicans, President Trump is still capable of finding a way to squander the advantage thanks to his uncontrollable mouth and thumb.

Or if they were devasted [sic] they only won 30-35 seats in the House...
