How would the MSM react? You may be right that they would lash out. On the other hand, they might follow strength. In the instance of invoking rules of decorum, how could the MSM present that negatively? And right after the Rs did it?

While I take your point, I disagree that the MSM's reaction is a foregone conclusion.
