Anytime a Republican loses even by massive margins, a howl will go out claiming fraud.

Why?

Because any Democratic candidate winning an election will be deemed fraudulent and illegitimate.

Trump was taped recently saying vote counters are more important than candidates. The GOP has to be smarter, he added.

Dangerous, dangerous waters we're navigating.
