1. Yeah but it's twice as much fun as gloating over a defeat. n/t

2. And trying to spin a win when you've really lost (cough, Obamanians, cough)
is really pathetic..

And it's really not a good look when you're candidate has lost the popular vote and has been rejected by a majority of voters in a state...yet you brag your candidate still won more delegates from that state..

3. That's BS. The Patriots are going to the Big Show. They celebrated
We celebrated and none of us are "belittled" Actually, we are empowered

That's what success does for you. So take your 2bit psychology to

the Dollar Store and throw it in the discount bin where it belongs



(and you can substitute Patriots for any other winner and it still applies. AKA Hillary)

7. Fact check: getting 12/25 delegates is a "victory" in name only
especially when you've led by 20+% in previous polls

6. I was, and it was pretty pathetic then, too
but I'd hardly call a tie for delegates a "victory"

Unless you believe everything the MSM tells you, that is.
