You know, like when McConnell sets a trap vote in the Senate for, say, Joe Manchin. The media slobber all over themselves at the incredibly "bipartisan" nature of the Senate vote without mentioning how Manchin had to vote for it. Rep. Hurd didn't have to vote in favor of this non-binding resolution, but he did. Will the media shout loud hosannas to the sky in hopes of rousing the extremely Bipartisan Ghost of David Broder?

Magic 8 Ball says, "Pfffft!"
