GOP Senate hopefuls once dismissed as ‘fringe’ by elites are now in positions to win.
Republican outsiders written off by their own party leadership and considered easy pickings by Democrats have defied the odds to make their races highly competitive, with some now tipped to win.
Democrats were so confident that some of these candidates labeled "far-right" or "fringe" by the media wouldn't win that Democrat campaigns and outside groups actually funneled money to them, thinking they'd be easier opponents in a general election than Republican primary hopefuls deemed more moderate or part of the GOP establishment.
"Look, listen, haven't we all decided on occasion that, rather than holding and fighting for objectively good things such as M4A, redacting border security and so on, the best approach is to signal boost right wing lunatics? It worked out for Hillary if you exclude the electoral college and Putinbot interference!"
"And then hey, sometimes we lose to them, it happens; you just need to get over it!"

Also, I LOVE that liberal politicians and fundraisers are actually deliberately and openly making things skew waaaaaaaaayyyyy right. Almost like they don't actually care...
