But if a Democratic public figure sneezes in a way that can be attacked, it'd be on an endless loop until something gave. And who complains about unfairness? The very people who get the biggest benefit of the doubt. Have a good weekend.

In a week, no one will remember. So it goes. And the other guy's still a demented freak.

Don't know if TFG has any real understanding, maybe he gets it a little, but his kneejerk/fallback -- say something, anything, for hype, clicks, or whatever, makes it easy for lazy, elite media types.
