Related: About this forumI wonder if trump has any idea how bad it feels to lose?
I would expect he has no ability to deal with it emotionally.

that's a big pill to swallow
for someone who doesn't have much experience with losing, it's going to be brutal

I assume for anyone losing is hard, not because it is losing, but because for a year or more you have articulated all the things that you would fight to enact... and losing means we are likely to go in opposite direction.
In fact, the "best" losers are those who focus on still fighting for everything they spoke of believing in. They speak of how this was bigger than them.
Note Donald has made everything all about him. HE likely will not rise to being a good loser.
