Not fake…satire
The fact that people took it as totally straight reporting speaks volumes about this campaign.

It isn’t even that. It’s a pretty big screw-up on Politico’s part. The story was filed under their “politicsnews” section, and not their “opinion” section, or even better would have been a new satire section if they’re going to do stuff like this. Nowhere did they mark it as parody. Finally it was written by someone who’s part of their listed reporters, whose title is “Chief Political Columnist.”
