Real politicians/candidates get vetted. Their records and words are parsed ad nauseum.

With Trump and Sanders, have we ever seen two candidates get more "wink and a nod" from the media? (pay no attention to the 2008 Obama primary)

We know the November election race the media really wanted - now we have Hillary, they'll have to prop up Trump some more, ignore his words some more, dismiss his history some more.

Get the poll results they want - some more.

At least we are backing a real candidate!
