    Just 10 years ago people would’ve called any politician who said moronic stuff like this a sore loser. And every non-expert would see that he is actually talking about cheating himself. What happened? The sanewashing needs to stop.

    Sounds like Trump has plans to make sure people like Susan Crawford don’t get elected in the future.

    It’s one of their stated goals. They’ve been against making voting easier fror the disenfranchised since day one. Day zero actually. Before that. For decades. Maybe close to a century now.

        But his particular sore loser attitude didn’t kick in until he lost the 2020 election. In fact in 2016 he was high on accusing Clinton of being a sore loser, for no particularly good reason. He loved calling out a sore loser until he lost.

        He had plenty of bad behaviors, but being a sore political loser wasn’t one of them at that point.
