Not so with Trump, who has zero sense of anything more important than himself. If his team wins, he crows about the validation; if his team loses, it's instant spreading of unfounded lies about "corruption" in the voting process. Sore loser and even sometimes a sore winner. And he knows he doesn't need evidence; he just needs to put the virus out there to reinfect his conspiracy-prone followers.

This is how long-term collateral damage is done to our most important democratic institutions. Thid is how distrust and division amongst the populace is sown. And you don't think this isn't the epitome of highly divisive, then you clearly don't understand even the meaning of the word.

Just another example of how this man is unworthy of his office. You can troll me with snarky responses, but you can't wash away the reality.
The simple fact is that Trump supporters don't care about what Trump does. They don't care if he turns out to be a criminal. They simply love his personality, and more than that, they love liberal tears. That's all it's about for many of them at the end of the day (I won't say most because I can't truly speak to that).

LOL, what a pile of BS and I'm not even a Trump supporter.

2000- Bush Stole it. (Um, no...you angered the Cuban voters with Elian Gonzalez)
2004 - Diebold myth
2008 - Well, the dems won so they gave up on the Diebold myth until....
2010 - Diebold!
2012 - Diebold (except for Obama)
2016 - Russians, Diebold etc.

Also throughout was gerrymandering which is clearly a non-partisan offense. Looking right at you Maryland!

Meanwhile the repubs whine with unproven claims about hordes of illegal voters and their own other garbage.

Sadly, this is a (rare) fairly presidential look for Trump...he sounds just like Hillary on this one.

Democrats have proven to be the most destructive force America has to deal with.
There are few things that escape their involvement that are made better. They build nothing but tension and misery.
Many examples but a recent example is Ca. They are busy burning down the state now b/c they failed on environmental policy. Anywhere there is serious unsolved problems there are democrats heavily involved and if they are so much as questioned about it they cry racism, although gender is becoming a popular replacement.

Now the OP is whining about whining as if that will solve anything. No thought of being part of any solution but never missing an opportunity to project onto the hated opposition.
I was going to ask you to provide evidence for all of this nonsense, but it's not even on topic. So nevermind. '

But many are remarkably capable of simply pretending it doesn't exist.

His team didn't lose. They won, as they did in 2016. It's the radical, fraudulent leftists who refuse accept the fact that they lost that is the problem.
