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

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.

to violate their oath of office and sacrifice their duty to the Constitution and the American people on the altar of their career ambitions, but I shall not." Throw shade at the cynical nature of the question and the craven GrOPers at the same time.

needs to go,"That Said",another Strawman bail your ass out phrase. So tied of the so called Media Talents using this type of false narratives when discussing anything that is not Right wing related.

Republicans can only be asked how they think the Democrats have overreached, or overplayed their hand, or can recover from the latest disarray! You are suggesting the millionaire talking heads of tv violate the rules of their overlords!

Please, carry on.
