The media has done nothing but work to fan the flames in the GOP.
You're right, and there's no shocker there.
What doesn't make sense to me is why so many are buying the line that the only successful republican candidate is one that looks like a democrat. What happened to conservative values? The dems are devoid of thought other than burying their heads in the sand and acting like poorly raised children. We can do much better with candidates that are serious...the world is a serious place with real problems. The dems have no solutions...so why try to shift toward their views?
