It might seem trivial, but this stupid headline points to one reason Republicans have been winning. Everyone (notably journalists) still feels the need to "play the game" as they've always known it.
Oh, Candidate A said something? The game rules say you now have to run a quote in response from Candidate B.

It's not perfect, yet still worlds better.
