According to Zander only the Dems are guilty of Trump Derangement Syndrome because they are calling him out for not correcting the questioner who called Obama a Muslim.
But obviously TDS is not a partisan affliction.
So we have Bush-3rd, Carson, Graham and Christie all suffering from TDS too.
Is it possible that TDS in non-partisan because T-Rump is an entertainer and not a serious candidate?

Christie, Graham and Bush come to Obama's defense
Christie took a different tack early Friday morning when he called out Trump.
"If somebody at one of my town hall meetings said that, I would correct them and I would say, 'The President's a Christian and he was born in this country. Those two things are self-evident,'" the New Jersey governor told NBC's "Today" show on Friday. "I'll tell you what I would do, and I wouldn't have permitted that if someone brought that up at a town hall meeting of mine; I would have said, 'No, listen. Before we answer, let's clear some things up for the rest of the audience.' And I think you have an obligation as a leader to do that."
Christie added: "Donald Trump has to decide how serious a candidate he wants to be and how he handles different problems like this are going to determine that in the eyes of the American people. I'm not going to lecture him about what to do."
Lindsey Graham, speaking with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Friday, said Trump should have stood up to the questioner.
"I've had this happen to me in Iowa, where a guy used the 'N-word' and it was very derogatory towards President Obama and Muslims. And I said, 'I am not seeking your vote,'" Graham said. "President Obama, I don't question his faith. I don't question his patriotism. I don't question his origin of birth. And when these things happen, you are not responsible for what the guy said, but you are responsible for how you respond."
And Jeb Bush, speaking in Michigan Friday night, also said he believed Obama was a Christian and an American.
"By the way, he's an American, he's a Christian. His problem isn't that he was born here or what his religion is, his problem is that he tears down anyone that disagrees with him," Bush said.
After his speech, Bush was asked three times by a CNN reporter if he believes Trump should apologize for his comments.
"I spoke to that. I spoke to that," Bush said.
Ben Carson Gives Trump a Pass For Response to Anti-Muslim Question
At a New Hampshire town hall Thursday night, a questioner denounced Muslims as a "problem" in the U.S., said Obama is a member of the religion and was not born in the U.S., and asked "when can we get rid of them?" Trump said only, "We are going to be looking at that and plenty of other things," and a spokeswoman was forced to issue three different statements clarifying his response.
Asked whether Trump should've corrected the questioner, Carson said: "I suspect that if he gets that question again, that's exactly what he'll do." He also said he'd have corrected a question like that if asked.
