NEBRASKA SEN. BEN SASSE REBUKES MEDIA FOR FAILING TO ASK TRUMP TOUGH QUESTIONS: “The media failed to vet President Obama in 2008, and right now I don’t think the people in your profession are doing a very good job of asking Trump real questions.”

The “I can’t believe he brought that up” grin from Chuck Todd, who began his career as an operative to former Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) and remains a de facto Democratic operative with a byline is a nice tell.
