Regular reminder that the US political press can and does have the power to monster a political candidate into oblivion if they choose to. I don't mean they all get together in the back room and make those choices. It's more a herd phenomenon, though herds have their sheepdogs, and those dogs know what they're doing.
Ever watched a sheepdog doing its thing? Something wrong with those dogs - absolutely nuts in a way - but it's amazing.
