This is all about creating a narrative.

If fits right in with the “Hands up, don’t shoot!” crowd.

Now, every story about the House Whip will include this report, thus painting the GOP leadership with a racist brush.

It never ends.

Boy, the Republican Establishment really knows how to vet their candidates, don't they?

I guess the difference is that when Dims do it, their folks gather round to defend them no matter how much evidence of malfeasance - when Repubs do it, their side of the aisle automatically condemns them even with lack of any evidence of malfeasance; just the charge is enough.

Net sum gain for the Dims when we knee-jerk.

Bingo! We have a winner.

You have to ask, “What was he doing speaking to half the Democrat Party?” Sponsored by the same party that was heart and soul of the KKK. My what a mistake. He was trying to recruit some people to the Republican side.

you will naturally be more cautious of criticism

***************
The Republicans cower in fear of the media. At the first hint of criticism they run off in panic. Battles are not won by armies that flee from the enemy.

I submit that they need to do the opposite because you simply cannot score points always playing defense. They need to up their game, expose the media for the corrupt mafia-like organization it is, and aggressively go on the attack. People don’t respect weakness; they respect strength. The Republicans have it all bass ackwards.
