“The non story about nothing that will not die. “
Maybe that should tell you it’s not a non story?
If this was something Trump or Bush did, I can guarantee you that all of the people screaming that this is nothing, would be posting about it non-stop and demanding that either be kicked out of the race.
I don't remember people here saying things like:
It's just politics.
He should have known they would do that, it's Carson's fault.
Politics ain't beanbag
There's NO proof that Cochran did anything wrong.
He was just trying to persuade people, that's what you do to get elected.
They were just quoting a CNN report.
Cochran's campaign motto must have been Trustworthy

Yes, we all pick and choose exactly which stories we get fifth-hand from a media we universally do not trust are given weight. Very reliable. The ones you choose must be facts, because you chose them, right? This is a theoretical claim, a hypothetical, that did not happen. Eg; “If Bush or Trump”. And I am not screaming nor posting about it nonstop. I am expressing irritation that this act of normal electioneering is such a rich vein of spin. Now about your guarantee: Where in synthetic-land would I go to redeem it? Would I be synthetically redeeming it, or just settling for the verbiage of your claim? Maybe it’s equivalently meaningless.
If you were in charge of reality, things would be different, I get that. You get that.
