and every Dem, from Senator, to Governor, to County Coroner would be hounded to "comment" on it.

The press does this, because MORE THAN ANYTHING, they want to show they have impact, influence and relevance.

They know pressing Retrumplicans about this WILL NOT COST RETRUMPLICANS A SINGLE, SOLITARY VOTER. They know that Democratic Voters hold their candidates to a higher standard.

All the press cares about is that they cause a 2-3% drop in Dem voters.
