Trump says he's not prepared to lose in 2020

President Trump said in an interview that aired Sunday that he is "not too prepared" to lose in 2020.

When asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" whether he was prepared to lose, Trump said, "No. Probably not. Probably not. It would be much better, it would be much better if I said, 'Yeah.' It would be much easier for me to say, 'Oh yes.' No I'm probably not too prepared to lose. I don't like losing. I haven't lost very much in my life."

Not winning the popular vote against 2016 foe Hillary Clinton has been a particular sticking point for Trump. He noted in the interview that he believes he would have won the popular vote if he had campaigned for it.

“I like popular vote. I think I’d do better with a popular vote, but I didn’t campaign for the popular vote," he said. "You didn’t see me campaigning in California or New York.”

So he's going to have to be hauled out kicking and screaming when he loses.

That would effectively be the end of the electoral college. And they'd get away with it, too.

They can not stand to lose, and they will do everything they can to "win". Cheat, lie, steal, slander, etc. nothing is off the table, including starting a war if you are trump.
