The Loser’s Gambit
This post is by Nick Carraway …..
“We have seen the legal briefs from the great Lin Wood where he has misspelled his name and promised plenty of perjury. There is no need to really add insult to that injury. However, the combination of these comical legal briefs in addition to the calls for voters to sit out of the runoff election have revealed the strategy moving forward. They are building a narrative that only a sports fan can truly understand. Allow me to use a sporting analogy.
No team is in a better position in college football than the Texas A&M Aggies. They are the fifth best college football team when only the top four get a ticket. They get to play North Carolina in the Orange Bowl on January 1st. Sure, the Tar Heels have had a nice season, but if we are honest without ourselves we know that the Aggies should handily beat them if they show up ready to play. So, when Notre Dame and/or Ohio State get killed in the semi-final we know what the narrative will be in College Station. If we would have gone then we would have competed with those teams. In reality, three out of four of those teams would likely also destroy A&M. Yet, we will never know and Aggies can always claim they would have done better.
The Trumps and their minions are just like the obnoxious fan on the sidelines loudly claiming they would do better than the professional on the field or court actually doing it. Unfortunately for them, they actually have been on the court and coughed up the game in spectacular fashion. They never planned to actually govern. They were supposed to lose last time. They wanted people to actually believe they would have done better without seeing it. Most of us give those people the side eye anyway and we are doing the same now.”

Nick,
1May I add, while they’re at it they’ll blame bad calls the refs earlier in the season which kept their team out of the top 4, and now they’ll throw stuff at their TV’s when shown edited replays (in this case legal filings).
If I was Notre Dame I’d be trying to sell my place in line to A&M cheap.
2If there were a sportsmanship award in politics (go ahead and laugh…I’ll wait….) the Trump Team wouldn’t even get a nomination.
3Elizabeth @3 — no sportsmanship award, but it seems the minions ARE lobbying for participation ribbons or trophies.
4Bleep all those R whiners and their minions! It is tine to truly say that there are wishes for a calm, quiet Christmas and a much better new year coming your way!
5Bleep on all the R whiners and misers! It is tie to say good wishes are coming your way for a calm, quiet Yule and a much better year than we had last year!
