The DNC preferred Trump...it wanted a easy opposition candidate - a sure thing. The same media that is now bellyaching about Trump gave him a lot of time and opportunity.
They knew him; he was not an unknown quantity.
Where the morality argument gets murky and insincere is: A large subset of the people who wear the morality hat support fervidly the Clintons.
