Regarding Infowars or any other hard leaning loon website (Huffington Post, Mother Jones, etc.), they all use the same tactic that we use on this very site, advertising dollars.  If sites like this is where you get your "news", you really need to expand your internet ability.  However, it does pay to look at sites like this to see what twits are tweeting.

Social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc. are there to make fools out of people.  Websites like Infowars, BCC, etc. just take advantage of the garbage that people post.

Low turnout at midterms typically favors the GOP. That this contest was close in a district that's been solid red for close to four decades is certainly a sign of trouble. It's at least evidence of an energized Democratic voting base. And to have that side engergized is the last thing the GOP needs.
