Trump just now:

"Winning is easy. Losing is never easy. Not for me it's not."

Just watched Trump saying these words. It's the most sincere and genuine I think I've ever seen him.
He said he's not thinking about a concession speech or winning speech yet.
Seems like to possibility of losing is starting to sink in.

Losing is never easy for anyone especially the driven successful type A personality types.

Imagine that, Trump might not be the monster the Dems have made him out to be but he is actually quite human.



Despite the polls telling us one thing there are many that believe Trump is going to win. He has gained amazing momentum this past week. The fix might be in but I think the People are turning out for him.

If the “fix” you’re alluding to is voters turning out to support their choice, I agree. If you’re suggesting a Trump loss means malfeasance, then I don’t agree.

No one thinks Trump isn’t human. He is with all the flaws and foibles that entails. He’s been his own worst enemy in many cases. That’s pretty darn human.

The most eye-catching thing, here, is he apparently doesn't realize everyone feels that way. That's the universal human experience - everyone loves to win and hates to lose.

He is less able to disguise his disappointment/frustration at losing, and the rest of us are mature enough to be gracious losers.

Yeah, because everyone else is so great and so enlightened.

Trust me those people have their own problems.

Everyone's got problems, and burdens and challenges.

For him to intimate that others don't mind losing is telling. It's just telling.

I knew this guy who was mr. clueless, at work, who believed his passionate love for his married girlfriend was worlds beyond what passionate feelings anyone - ever anywhere - felt for their girlfriends and boyfriends. Like his experience was unique. And that's why we couldn't understand how he could be lowlife enough to have a married girlfriend.

That's the same feeling I just got reading this quote from Trump. He's clueless that his experience is universal.

It seems to me the left have been on a rioting, looting and burning temper tantrum since Trump won. Are you just in a way saying the left isn't "mature enough to be gracious losers"? I have NEVER seen such sore losers than I have with this leftist machine. Russia, Impeachment and the list is endless. Riots, looting, burning, anti-police and more. One giant temper tantrum. Never in American history has this been seen before.

I guess you've never read about the 1960's. Or, even, that we were at one point actually AT WAR with each other.

In the 1960s we were at war.

Today we are not, yet political activists need to have spiritual meaning so they makes stuff up like "Trump is a fascist" and "our democracy is at threat".

No it's not, everything is the same as it always was.

Yes I was watching him on MSNBC. He looked tired and sad.
He was apparently at a rally though until 2am so not surprising.
