MSNBC & CNN Love Good Republican Loser McSally, But Don't Urge Losing Dems to Emulate

Are you a Republican candidate? Want to win lavish praise from the liberal media? Easy! Get into a cliff-hanging election result, and instead of fighting it out, concede gracefully to your Dem opponent.
As you'll see in the video clip, MSNBC's Morning Joe and CNN's New Day offered a perfect illustration of the phenomenon today. Both shows heaped praise on Republican Martha McSally for quickly and "gracefully" conceding to Dem Kyrsten Sinema in their Senate race in Arizona. In contrast, the two shows castigated Republican Rick Scott for fighting it out in Florida.
But wait a second: MSNBC/CNN's point was that the losers should gracefully concede. As Mika Brzezinski put it, "McSally put aside partisanship and personal ambition to give the people of her state what they need: a clear result that everyone can have confidence in."
