No question however that’s not what they want or publicly, at least, expected. Far better to have held the House. Trump never admits defeat.
Trump is using game theory. The responses for the loss of the house have been well planned, with thousands of branches because it was a high probability event. Most of the retirements from both houses have been Repubs, not Demos, which surprised the heck out of me.
Why is this significant?
Reconcile.

Well, I don’t consider it a defeat, so why would Trump. He did better than history of such things would ever have predicted.
