He never recovered..actually, he couldn't..!!!! He had at most a day, to take it back, and he could have said he was sorry, but he never did.....from then on, he lost. Before that he had a very good chance in a Republican state..but he was too dumb and insensitive and self centered...like Trump..but Trump is much worse..

Trump does not know it is over...that the statements he has made, have solidly locked in, yes locked in, enough electoral votes to defeat he....end of rant.
