Why the GOP loses

Senate unanimously passes resolution declaring that the media is not the enemy of the people.

Yet, there have been polls that contradict them.  A majority of Republicans in polls say that the media is an enemy.  Whose enemy?  It ought to be clear that the media is at least not a friend to the GOP.  Otherwise, why have so many claimed media bias?  Complaints about media bias has made the Rush Limbaugh show.  Why would anybody bother to listen to Limbaugh, or talk radio, if they felt that there was no media bias?  If somebody is biased against you, then how can they be your friend?

Perhaps these Senators objected to the phrasing.  If Trump had said enemies of the GOP, would they have passed this resolution?

Such a resolution doesn't help their chances in November.  The failure to recognize a long standing complaint of the GOP is not something that would endear them to the voters.  It is almost as if they would prefer to lose the Congress than to support Trump.

If the GOP loses Congress, this is one of the reasons why.
