My point was that she has had a comparably easy-breezy time with the campaign so far.
CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC...they all treat her with kid gloves. The only exception would be Fox News. And they don't go after her hard. They simply zero in on her problems while the other media sources ignore them.
Now Trump on the other hand....he has The Koch Brothers, the entire Republican establishment, the RNC, the DNC, and ALL of the media (including Fox News) attacking him and trying to ruin him on a daily basis.
That's what I was trying to point out.
If you think that Sanders supporters on Reddit are "tough" on Hillary (when most people don't even see that stuff)...just wait until the general election when Trump blasts her with both cannons and it's all over every news cycle 24 hours a day.

No I'll give you that, she was a "sure thing" and he was a "joke". But there is a very strong irrational resentment to her candidacy within the democrat party.
To a certain extent, though, the media has always been on the democrat's side. I don't think that is going to change. I think they'll be in the tank for her, fair or not.
