Very true...sometimes the echo chamber can deceive on how well your message is getting through.
Did the pollsters deliberately lull the GOP into a false sense of security? Normally, they err way, way on the side of the democrats. What happened this election year? All the polls showed that the economy, education, the border, and crime, were the top concerns of voters. They showed republicans very close or in the lead in so many races.
I am just flabbergasted!
