When I google Huckabee-Sanders, the most recent thing I come up with is this:
Sarah Huckabee Sanders indicts the media — on bogus, Trumped-up charges
In which she went on a bitch-session at the media, to the media, during a press briefing; calling out misdeeds that either never happened or were debunked after the fact.

Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did
For everyone wondering what happened with SHS the press corps questioned her on Trump's statement that the media are the enemy. A statement his own daughter/wife in another life Ivanka has said no what daddy said is not right. When asked Sanders goes into It's All About Me mode and decries the media for hounding her while refusing to comment on her boss' statement and you can see she is on the verge of tears, like she was when a little girl asked why nothing is done to stop children being gunned down.
Ivanka has Vetinari Job Security.
Huckabee's existence hangs on her pleasing The Master.

Author of The Rules of Supervillainy, Cthulhu Armageddon, and United States of Monsters.Seriously, even if you were planning on being a crony, you have to imagine working for the Cheeto is a exhausting and mind-wracking experience.
If you planned on a career of high power, pleasure, and perks then working in the White House should be a breeze.
Except, now, you have no job security and the public genuinely hates you in the city you work as well as the surrounding 100 miles.

Author of The Rules of Supervillainy, Cthulhu Armageddon, and United States of Monsters.I will get so much schadenfreude if every single one of these people can't get a job after this. Things like leaving out the years off the resume, but then having a gap they can't explain.
It's petty, but if they're enabling this sort of stuff I can't imagine how they're justifying it to themselves.
Read my stories!"Sarah answer the question."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!"
"...Sarah?"
"I quit! I fucking quit! I hate this shit job, my lumpy orange couch potato boss! And I hate every single one of you press folks! I am going back home. No more questions. I just want to watch The Walking Dead for hours and not. worry."
"Goodbye Sarah."
(Sarah Hucka-Sanders is seen running like a maniac to a cab)

Actually I saw a new that look Spicer in a baseball game after the whole thing and he look....better,.
it clearly look living the trump white house was the best thing ever for him and unlike much of trump goons, I actually feel he wasnt so awfull.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Spicer could have been a decent press sec under any other Republican, and he tried to be a normal one (like his Democratic and Republican predecessors) but couldn't defend a guy who on average lies 7 times a day.
Sanders embraces her job as the Mouth of Sauron, and doesn't even try to inject truth into the process because she's realized that's not viable when you work for Trump.
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.The only good ones on Fox are Shep Smith and Chris Wallace.
Tucker used to be a basic conservative on Crossfire, then he absorbed whatever Hannity has.
Trump's going after LeBron James now.
Somehow I don't think being the Mouth of Sauron is something you want to put on your resume.

Though I'm fairly sure I know the answer, how recent has one side of the aisle been so heavily defined by the President in power that winning a nomination or primary becomes a matter of "NO, I LOVE THE PRESIDENT MORE!"
I can think of a few Presidents who I might not be surprised if something kind of like that happened, but to this extent...
