Attention GOP: The media will hate you no matter where you stand on impeachment so you might as well defend Trump

What every single Republican in Congress needs to understand and prepare for is that no matter what the articles of impeachment that Democrats draw up look like, the national media are going to declare it “a devastating case against President Trump.â€
They could be drawn on a napkin in pink jelly pen with little hearts as dots for the i’s and yet still, CNN and the New York Times will blare headlines that the Democrats’ case provides “A Damning Account†of the president’s misdeeds.
If Republicans can get over that in advance, it will make defending the head of their party — who maintains hardened support among their own voters — a lot easier.
The default position of all elected Republicans tends to be on their knees, begging the media not to say mean things about them. This is not a time for that. They must be prepared to have a lot of mean things said if they put up any sort of fight against Democrats’ effort to impeach the president.
