The media is going to “Palinize” any viable (R) candidate for POTUS while giving the empty suit a free pass on everything, including being AWOL on Benghazi, which should have ended his chances at re-election but the media covered his ass and his utter incompetence.
Oh, and they’re big on Style over Substance - never mind that Rubio said more in 5 minutes than Obama said in over an hour.
The media is going to be dismissive of any sense he made and hyperventilate over Rubio taking a sip of water, which automatically makes him unelectable.
As long as you smile, lie, bite your lower lip, point your finger at the camera when making a rehearsed denial, say stupid things like you have campaigned in 57 States, etc...the media is going to give you a free pass as long as you are a Dem.
If a Republican makes the slightest gaffe, it’s a “career ender”
The media became emboldened after their blatant cheerleading for Obama in 2008 while committing character assassination of Sarah Palin, so why would they stop now?
That was exactly the argument I was making four years ago, when the GOP did nothing while the media was on its bloody wilding rampage of Palin, blowing up the most idiotic controversies and distractions out of nothingness to drag her down. I warned that if this wasn’t pushed back, it would be the new playbook the Dem-media-complex would apply to destroy ALL viable Republicans coming down the pike. But nope, the GOP leaders not only ignored this, but pretty much joined in with the trashing of Palin. The stupid GOP helped legitimize this new paradigm, and now they are going to be pummelled by it. I’m almost inclined to say they are getting their just desserts.
Any Republican that gets on TV should bring up the real career enders like Benghazi. Turn the conversation around to what BO is doing every, single time. They are too stupid to figure out this most basic way to turn things around when they get the chance.
