If a republican candidate isn’t aware that the media is out to get him/her, then that person has no business running.
I think they are all aware the media is out to get them, but I don't think many of them are aware to the degree that the media liars regard it as a holy quest on par with a "Crusade" to get them.
The media hate Republicans with a level of despising which should be reserved for murderers.
A lot of Republicans do not grasp to what level the media people want to burn us "witches" at the stake.
Trump gets it though.
