Could Trump finally force the media to admit both major parties AREN'T the same? [View all]

The media's false equivalence between the two major parties is almost like surreal performance art or a Monty Python sketch, where a sportscaster interviews a badminton player about an upcoming match, then Leatherface comes out and chainsaws the first interviewee in half, and the sportscaster asks him, "And how do you think you'll do in today's match?"

Are Trump's faults and the GOP that made them possible finally so egregious that they have to admit one guy has a chainsaw and is wearing a mask made of human skin?

YES--Trump is so openly ignorant, racist, etc. that they will have to acknowledge he is the result of decades of Republicans selling those as positive qualifications
0 (0%)
NO--They will acknowledge TRUMP himself is all those things but will still treat the GOP as a whole as normal
0 (0%)
NO--They will ultimately give Trump the same deference and respect as Obama or any other politician and if he inspires a lynching or something, they will still say "both sides do it."
