I've never seen so many creative ways to describe "losing" as "winning" and "winning" as "losing".

I have to hand it to the Bernie campaign and his supporters. Really no stone has been left unturned in the attempt to switch the meanings of two words that I thought were pretty well settled.

when Hillary was first lady, she's used to the lies, half truths, and innuendos from the opposition. I'm sure none of them are happy when they lose, but I expect "Democrats" to be graceful losers.

It's a whole cottage industry for them. They all must be soooo dizzy from the constant spinning.
