MSM and the democrats proved too hard to beat.
365 day 24/7 pounding of POTUS and Iraq took its toll.
Agree to a point. But there was more to it than just MSM. The things the MSM brought up are now being to a point admitted to by the administration. And the administration not only has not managed the war in an effective way, they haven't done a good job with PR.
The MSM was a factor. The republican party was just as complicit if not more.
