Actually, they aren't really that interested in politics. The business of faux partisanship is just a job to them, one that currently pays the bills. Day in & day out, they have to produce content that keeps the people distracted from what's really occurring in the country. Yet what they are worried about however is possible unemployment if Trump is elected.
The entire facade of the uniparty is severely threatened by this unexpected turn of events. Both sides of the traditional political spectrum had successfully expropriated the basic themes, but elevated the grifting to a high art form.
That's why we're now seeing attacks on aspects such as (the lack of) decorum, politeness, cultural sensitivity, ad nauseum. It's to divert attention from the real game, the 3-card monte being played on stupidus americanus. Trump came out of nowhere to spoil their fun, and they're still furious that the asshole had to spill the beans on their game.
That makes a whole lot of sense.
Well said. That's why we're hearing the lamentations of their women and metrosexuals.
