They don't see it that way. They're divinely ordained to hold power. They are the chosen ones. Only they know what's best for the world, the country, your state, your town, you. They're smarter than everyone else. If they don't win, then obviously, they were cheated! The sheeple were duped! There was fraud!
Hardcore Rats have never legitimately lost an election, in their minds. It's never their fault.
Kerry will stand on the deck of the Democratic swift boat and continue to bark orders as it burns and sinks around him...because he can't lose. He's like every bad B-movie villain when the hero foils him at the end..."but, my plan can't fail! I can't be defeated!"
