So Republican candidates have to live in constant fear of saying something inappropriate but the left gets a free pass. What a bunch of puss(y) willows.
The same people who are criticizing Tudor Dixon are the same ones who suffered post traumatic stress disorder over Trump’s tweets.

Not fear. But they certainly must be more careful, and more on the alert.
It’s a damn shame, but we all know that it’s not a level playing field. For example, Biden can say nakedly racist things and the media ignores it. But everything Trump says is analyzed 15 different ways for possible racist content.
So we could be bold and reckless, and have our words used against us. Or we can be careful (and still forceful) , and maybe win a few elections.
Like I said, it’s a shame. But it is what it is.
The reality is, Republicans will always be asked trick questions. It is better to be circumspect than to play along and make a clumsy elaboration about some extreme scenario a trick question usually brings up. Every word will be twisted and broadcast. A Democrat can say something outrageous or just awkward and the media will hide it or gloss over it. It’s not an even playing field and Republicans are never given honest questions and they should be prepared for that.
