but I think some of it is catering to the racists in their base. A lot of it is the fact that republicans are just piss-poor losers. If they can't win, they don't want to play. This is an accelerated continuation of the crap they pulled in the Clinton years. How dare anyone beat them!!! Especially if the person who beat them is younger, better looking, and cooler than them.

Sure wouldn't want to play chess or Scrabble with them.
