It's still just Dowds, all the way down...

Trump could empty a clip into Matthew Dowd, and his last breath would be "At least he's not sending e-mails..."

Having pondered the limits of Both Siderism, I think I can ascertain the response if Trump shot a journalist. Within hours, the usual suspects would fan out to find some speech in which Clinton used a gun metaphor, find someone who was shot with 24 hours and 50 miles of the site, declare a connection (in that roundabout "People are talking" sense), and then declare the whole thing off-limits and go back to dissecting Huma Abedin conspiracy theories.

It's really, really easy for the non-imbecilic to criticize both parties on the merits and simultaneously not pretend that they're basically the same when they clearly aren't. But that's too sophisticated for Ron Fournier and his straw men. This is the same shtick as Andrew Sullivan, Richard Cohen and innumerable other hacks – they can't process accurate criticism (especially of themselves), admit that they're wrong or acknowledge that they have something to learn. The little people must be wrong and must be scolded.
