Rarely do we take exception to an Andrew McCarthy article, but his comments on the recent Trump election win are, with all due respect…well…just plain wrong.

His premise is that Trump won narrowly…got outplayed…but won.

Then uses a football metaphor to illustrate how Trump was pushed all over the field, how his opponent gained more yards and dominated ball possession, but lost.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Using the same football metaphor, we suggest a different scenario: the game was fairly evenly played, but the opponent never got flagged when fouls were made, the announcer never mentioned any of Trump’s successful plays, never noted referees kept on overlooking uncalled penalties against the other team…

…and kept telling the fans the opponent was ahead on points even when the opposite was true.

With Michigan in his column, Trump won a majority of states (29) and a majority of the electoral votes (306) as a result. Whining about a ‘popular vote’ when the electoral process is – and has been – the law of the land is pathetic…

…especially with the chances for vote fraud that ‘sanctuary locales’ breed.

As much as anyone makes this about Trump, though, this election was more about rejecting the policies of a Democrat Party that trampled Rule of Law repeatedly.

The Republican Party won this election…more importantly, the Democrats LOST it.

The winning team didn’t get ‘outplayed’.

The losing team overplayed their hand.

And the fans know why the final score came out the way it did.
