Trumps tweet this morning - where he has to proclaim I WAS RIGHT - reminds me of the scene in the excellent film RAGING BULL where in the 13th Round Sugar Ray Robinson beats the living daylights out of Jake La Motta so badly that people turn their heads not being able to watch the bloody carnage. So after the ref stops the fight, Robinson is declared the winner but LaMotta stumbles up to Robinson and proclaims.... you never got me down Ray.
That is Trump today. He and his candidate just pulled off the impossible - they lost a Senate seat to a Democrat in a ruby red safe state that Trump just won a year ago by 28 points. They lost last night. But this morning he stands like a bloody, pummeled and destroyed Jake LaMotta pretending that he won because he was not knocked out.
Nobody is fooled. At least nobody with a functioning brain not in the tank for Trump.
