Democrats, on the other hand, blow it off and move forward.

Only because the media will NEVER call them on it.

If you have a mob of media ready to descend on your every move, 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.
