You can safely bet that it’s not a Republican. They would never sit on a story involving a Republican candidate.
Not necessarily. They would sit on a story about a Republican and spring it on the public at an opportune moment if that meant tipping the balance of an election, you can bet your sweet patootie on that.
Are you kidding?! You don't think that their mouths water at the prospect of deep-sixing the Republican nominee, post-convention? It's been tried before.
Yes, they might. They might wait until after the primary. You see, if they eliminate the Republican candidate in question before the primary, another candidate will become the nominee and the Dems might still have a horse race for the general election. If they wait until after the primary, assuming the candidate in question is nominated, they can print the story then and the general election becomes a slam-dunk for the Dems.
Oh yes they would because timing of its release is everything......
