    Maybe it’s the fact he is a convicted felon? The fact he was even allowed to run is a massive loss already regardless of the outcome. As far as I am concerned anything short of a massive landslide against him counts as a massive loss.

      A minimal popular vote win gave him multiple wins at so many levels it’s sickening. And how the media pretends like he’s not who he is amplifies the sense it was a huge victory.

      If being a felon or a convicted Criminal makes it impossible for you to run for office. They will look to convict everyone they don’t like of something just so they can be powerless.

      However Trump’s massive unrepentant criminal nature should have been played upon more by the media throughout the whole process asking him why he’s even bothering to run. Instead of breathlessly giving him coverage.

        Like they already do with voting.

        Mainstream media is far right. Trump sued a newspaper for reporting he was doing a tiny bit behind in polls.
