Perfect metephor for the Trump "win" from the NFL

Green Bay won with an interception. They knew it, the commentators knew it, every fan that watched knew it.
But the Refs gave the win to Seattle.

We all know Hillary won. But no one in power wanted to overturn the Refs' decision.

"Yes, he won." The antithesis of what the Republicans would have said if the tables had been turned. They would have ALL used the same words "Stolen", "Illegitimate", etc. - over and over until it seeped into the nation's psyche.

Wish we could break out of our MO. At the very least, say "He won on a technicality"
