But I tend to agree. Yesterday, I was down in the dumps about the results. However, this morning, I don't think trump is a "winner".

We clearly have a large number of white supremacist voters. But they are in the minority and they have, IMHO, been stripped of their leader. Yes, Hawley or someone might take his place if I'm right, but my specific point in this OP is that trump won't be that leader.
