Donald Trump’s hilarious attempt to suggest he actually won in a special election loss

R&I – TxPAT ***

CNN —

The facts are indisputable: Donald Trump endorsed Susan Wright in Tuesday’s special election in Texas. He recorded a robocall for her. His PAC spent at least $100,000 on ads supporting her. And then she lost to Rep.-elect Jake Ellzey.

It’s an open-and-shut case. Trump tried to demonstrate his lasting sway within the Republican Party by endorsing Wright. He chose the wrong horse. He took the “L.” Everyone agrees.

Everyone except Trump, that is.

In an interview with Axios’ Jonathan Swan on Wednesday, Trump said that he had been persuaded to endorse Wright by David McIntosh, a former member of Congress from Indiana and the current president of the Club for Growth, a fiscally conservative outside organization.

“This is the only race we’ve … this is not a loss, again, I don’t want to claim it is a loss, this was a win,” said Trump. “The big thing is, we had two very good people running that were both Republicans. That was the win.”

Er, what?
