The media will always turn on Democratic Party members and treat them worse than Republicans.

If O'Malley, Sanders, or Clinton said anything like Trump does - the media would rip them to shreds.

If there were naked pictures of Sanders or O'Malley's wife on the web - they would rip her to shreds.

Clinton has been picked on for her pantsuits over the years - when does the media - the pundits - pick apart Donald's hair?

I'm probably coming across petty and I'm a little tired today - but although it might not be fair - it's part of being a Democratic politician.

There are two different rules for Republicans and Democratics in this country as far as the media is concerned. It's been that way for 20 years.

Thing is? We remember at General Election time.
