Trumpie’s daily whine
by digby
I don’t think Trump is a strategist. He relies on instinct. And in many cases it’s been pretty good, at least when it comes to finding the conservative id and stroking it. So the idea that he’s doing this for any reason other than a very sore ego strikes me as debatable. But that doesn’t mean it won’t work for him:
I would normally say that being a whiner isn’t a good look for a politician. The right wing blogs that are backing Cruz or Rubio are all suggesting this is a bad move. I’m not so sure. But he probably sense that people think Cruz is an oily operator and suggesting that he stole the election will be something his followers will like. After all, how could Trump lose. He’s a winnah!
