Trump flips out over Masters' loss: Demands new election

Just hours after Arizona Republican Party Senate nominee Blake Masters was declared the loser in his bid to unseat Sen. Mark Kelly (D), Donald Trump raged on his Truth Social media platform that there needs to be a do-over election.

Kelly's win, with the U.S. Senate seats in Nevada and Georgia still to be decided, appears to lock up Democratic control of the chamber and the Masters' loss is another blow to the former president who threw his whole-hearted support behind the GOP nominee.

With that in mind -- on the evening before his youngest daughter's wedding at Mar-a-Lago -- Trump accused election officials in Arizona of being idiots and of being "corrupt" despite the fact that many of them are Republicans.

"Idiot, and possibly corrupt, officials have lost control of the tainted Election in Arizona," he wrote. "MACHINES BROKEN IN REPUBLICAN AREAS. A NEW ELECTION MUST BE CALLED FOR IMMEDIATELY!

accept the outcome of elections and their demands for election do-overs, denial of results, etc., etc.

But will Trump be able to arouse the kind of denial zeal that he did in 2020, leading to J6?

I don't think so. Too many Republicans now see him as a loser. It won't work again on the scale that it did in 2020. There will be some hard core Trump devotees who will back his denial claims. Maybe some will threaten violence and even try to carry it out. But I don't think that there will be widespread support for that.

He's done, like a burnt piece of toast. Let him battle with DeSantis in the future and destroy his party even further.

the American exceptionalism was on display when America rejected Benedict Donald's and the repukes brand of tyranny via his picks for political office across the nation.

All he's displaying is his lunacy, which is on full display.

Trump is so pathological he could not bring himself to let Masters pick up a few independent votes by appearing to be in touch with reality because nobody is allowed to say he lost anything ever. He cannot grasp that more people hate him than like him, then he gets into politics where we actually count these things empirically.
