"SNIP.......

Jonathan Bernstein: “Republicans won’t blame a disappointing showing in November on either Trump for helping nominate weak candidates or the Supreme Court’s decision on abortion. Instead, they will blame Mitch McConnell for cooperating too much with Senate Democrats…”

“But the scarier possibility is that many Republicans will learn nothing from defeat because they will simply assume that they were cheated.”

......SNIP"

Applegrove: That is because the elites in the right wing don't want them to change policy. They don't want to evolve. They don't want to pay axes or follow regulations. They don't want to face a strong middle class. Scapegoating the loss to false notions of democratic cheating is perfect for the elites.

1. Most don't assume they were cheated

They know they weren't. But, like TFG, they have to have a reason for their loss to feed the mindless.

2. You're so right

The elites of the Qpublican party have to feed their cultists a steady diet of more and more outrageous things. You are spot on about their going to scream they were cheated.
