I think their point is that coming from the nominee it's unusual to delegitimize the whole outcome in advance

& I think that's a bogus claim, only true abt degree, not type. It lets GOP off for past delegit efforts that undergird Trump

I think they are making a narrower point here -- that no major party nominee has ever sought to delegitimize outcome in advance

I get that you're trying to justify the story. I think the story serves to let GOP off easy.
