Dear Media: Please retire the "aren't you afraid this could backfire?" questions to Dems [View all]

Yes, I understand that the media is very, VERY concerned that any gains made by the Ds might (MIGHT!) hold a silver lining for Rs. Things might backfire!!!!!!! Oh noes!!!!!!

tRump impeached? Could backfire.

Ds take back Congress? Could backfire.

Sure sign that a D policy or tactic is gaining traction? The media asks if it might all backfire...and aren’t you horribly, horribly, GBCW WORRIED to death about it?

Enough already with the effing “aren’t you worried?” questions.
