One reason the electoral college crybabies crack me up is that it never occurred to them that Trump’s strategy was around an electoral college paradigm. If we had a “popular vote” scenario, he would have molded his strategy around that.

It’s like a baseball team complaining that the other team may have gotten more runs, but their team got more hits, so they should have won. But is anyone stupid enough to believe that if baseball games were won by hits rather than runs that the other team’s strategy would have been different? For starters, home runs wouldn’t matter any more than a single, and bunting would probably go away.

When you lose the game as it exists, the only one you should be pointing the bony finger of blame at is yourself and your team. Period.

This is simply another observation of their uni-dimensional thinking. It also shows up in economics, when they claim that increasing X tax will generate $Y of revenue...and then they’re shocked to the core when people change their behavior and it generates a net loss of revenue. They are just not deep thinkers, and I’m convinced that this is because they are very much like children - they are simply incapable of it. Maybe this is because they have never been in the private sector, where you have to be nimble in reacting to competition, because EVERYONE is looking for an advantage, even if it is only 1%.
