I won't speak for Ty, but what I'm trying to say is that this looks like it has moved past the point of diminishing returns.

Ty
I don't like him any more than you do, and am annoyed that his presence takes coverage away from other candidates. I'm just trying to explain how the press works. If they thought he was a serious candidate, they would bust him for his past. Duke has come close to winning.

But they would run them for Duke, and not just because he has been a more successful candidate, but because of his skin color.

Yes, I understand that you're saying being a credible threat isn't the
only reason they haven't crushed Sharpton. Thing is, I don't think Ty's disagreeing with you on whether he's getting something of a free pass. I don't either.
The difference, I suppose, is that I don't think Sharpton gets enough of a free pass for it to move past an annoyance all the way to an outrage. That you keep returning to this theme of "yeah, but it's an outrage!" makes me think that you're not listening to what others are saying anymore.
