awful lot of disenfranchised, pissed off Republicans who loath the radical shift to "the crazy" in their party. Democrats do not hold any sort of monopoly on being pissed off at our leadership and leaving the party. So, many GOP switched to the Democratic Party.....but that doesn't mean they won't selectively vote for what used to be "their own".
They must have Believed McConnell's sob stories about being victimized by Reid and the Dem Senate Majority.

Even tho the new session is only a few weeks old...and in spite of the fact they've already taken Many work days off....If we miraculously got a "do-over" for the 2014 election right now, I'm guessing the outcome would be very different based upon observed GOP performance since they took Full control.

I'm sure it's much more complicated than just one "thing"...coupled with the fact the GOP is way better at lying (they call it, messaging)that may be a part of it.
