I suppose that this had to happen. When Trump won the second time it was because the election was “too big to rig.” This election, however, was not too big to rig in Trump’s view.

Now what stymies me is the part, “how could the polls be so wrong?” Wrong? They were predicting a blue tsunami and we got a blue tsunami. Where did the pollsters err? But that’s the talking point, because none other than Mike Johnson picked up on the same thing.
Johnson: With regard to the polls, that wasn't my opinion. Everybody saw the polls were off. They were off all over the place. None of you projected the final outcome. The polls were wildly inaccurate. The polling industry missed it yet again by a mile. pic.twitter.com/nv0XHwjVxs

Yes, polls can be off by several points but the big picture here is that the polls said blue tsunami and that is what we got. So I’m not following Johnson at all. The night before the election Johnson said, “The polls are off and we’re going to win big tomorrow.” They were not and he did not.
So once again word gibberish just to fill the air with something. I guess we could do another 2020 and Trump could start collecting money for election fraud. Probably that’s next. We’ll just have to wait for the other shoe to drop to see how weird this is going to get.
The only thing to be said for certain is that Trump is frightened of what’s to come. He started out post election saying that he would work with Democrats and now he’s saying the election was “impossible” to win because of “big dumps.” No comment.
Alternet.org ran a story that Fox News is “done” defending Trump. The channel will cover him, of course, but won’t push the lie that the midterms were rigged. So we will see how much traction that story gets. The GOP. is looking like a bunch of sore losers.
Wouldn’t expect snything else from the nunce. He’ll possibly throw up more twists and turns, because as you state “… The only thing to be said for certain is that Trump is frightened of what’s to come…” and that’s gotta have him crapping his duds.
