Oh please. This excuse is so lame. The Republicans have spent decades nominating "respectable" cucks who play by the left's one-sided rules of discourse, and it doesn't matter, they still get railroaded by the press. In 2012, Romney was Hitler, a racist, sexist, etc., and no amount of self-flagellating and apologizing was ever enough to change the media's narrative.

The fact is, the Republicans have shot themselves in the foot for decades now by always letting the left frame every debate, playing by the left's rules, begging for the left's approval, and compromising with the left in the (foolish) hopes that the left will do the same in return. It is no longer an opposition party, just a nearly identical wing of the Uniparty. Trump's approach is what we actually need to push the Overton Window back towards functioning elections with actual choices.
