Well that escalated quickly

When Pete entered the race

vs

When Pete is now a serious player in the race

It's as if now he's a threat to this journalist's preferred candidate, it's no longer that he's not passing the purity test on healthcare and college debt, he's not passing the purity test on being sufficiently gay.

Give me a break.
