I'm getting a vibe in the media that they are trying set up for a Republican win in 2016

Same thing I experienced during Clinton's second term. This attitude that "we let Democrats/liberals/progressives have the Oval Office for two terms, now let's give Republicans a chance" FoxNews in overdrive and seemingly "liberal" media outlets pumping rightwing talking points. And so many American voters are suckers that they'll fall for it like they did in 2000. And by the way, I think Mediaite is a right mouthpiece site, I was turned on to them when I first started visiting the site because they seemed liberal but they have rightwing hacks like Noah Rothman and Joe Concha working for them. I really don't know Dan Abrams story, he's the owner, but Mediaite is not to be trusted.

It is what they get paid to do, sadly.

for the Republicans for a while now.
They tried so hard to make the last race closer than it was.
