    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Steve Benen

    The thing is, we haven't had a president who was popularly elected & narrowly defeated since Cleveland. (Ford lost narrowly, but had never won.) So, we don't have a modern parallel to Trump losing by 43,000 votes. But we also don't have a parallel to his post-election tantrum.https://twitter.com/stevebenen/status/1364643175273480193 …

    There's a lot to declarations like these, but I'm struck by the recent history: when Carter and HW Bush lost after one term, their parties had no interest in treating them as conquering heroes to be celebrated. But after Trump lost by 7 million votes... https://twitter.com/Jim_Jordan/status/1364607989211156481 …

        To be honest, the Dems and the media, but I repeat myself, would use the tantrum against Mr. Trump in 2024. On electability issues alone, that should give pause.

        Yes, but while Trump only lost the electoral college by 10's of 1000's, it's worth noting that gaming the electoral college is what you do when you're fundamentally losing & he fundamentally lost. It wasn't that close. 4.5%. Moreover, Biden only lost NC by 10's of 1000's too.

        Trump’s loss was not narrow.

        Carter and Bush were both primaried. So was Ford.

        If you're going to go with this 43K number, you also have to go with the 77K Trump won by in 2016.

        Indeed. A narrow win, a narrow loss.
