Loser

 I was generally a supporter of Trump and his policies over the past 4 years.  Sometimes it was very difficult as his arrogant personality and gigantic ego frequently blurred the good that he was doing. And not only was there good, the other side was bad.  As in Socialist bad.  So I hoped he would would be reelected.  But at some point as the election drew near, it became obvious that he had alienated too many people and was in great danger.  People just grew tired of his abrasiveness, his focus on himself, and his chaotic administration.  When he lost, I wasn't surprised.  A good example is the Philadelphia area.  He lost the city last time but won the suburbs.  This time he lost the city by even more and lost the suburbs.  Normal, middle of the road people, especially women, were just fed up and wanted a change.  

I'm sure he has people around him and in the Republican Party that provided this analysis, but he wasn't listening.  I guess it's not a big surprise that he has acted the way he has.  He has denied reality, surrounded himself with sycophants and village idiots, and resisted any notion that he lost.  His "team" has filed untold lawsuits and they've all been thrown out for lack of evidence.  And these are sometimes judges he appointed.  So it's over.

I thought at some point he would act like a President and concede graciously.  But I don't think that is to be.  He will pout and blame and threaten to the end.  It's a sad day and like nothing I've ever seen.  And it is exhausting.  Three weeks to go.  It will get worse as Jan 20 gets closer.
