Is Trump a Winner? Or Just a Whiner?

Trump whining about "totally" rigged elections disqualifies him from being president in two ways.

First, he's lying. The election is not "totally" rigged. Is there some cheating, some of the time? Certainly. Is the system totally rigged? No , that's ridiculous.

And if it WERE rigged - a real, respectable presidential candidate would expose it in detail, with evidence, and proposed reforms, not start mumbling about conspiracies against him as Trump is doing.

Second, beyond the lie, is that we expect presidents to WIN, not make excuses about why they can't win.

Trump had every opportunity to present himself as a thoughtful, considerate man who would serve all Americans instead of using divisive rhetoric. Trump had every opportunity to win over the press instead of condemning them and threatening them. Trump had every opportunity to unite his party behind him, but by refusing to compromise, by refusing to even be polite, he ripped it apart instead. Trump had every opportunity to present carefully thought out policies instead of vague slogans. Trump had every opportunity to prepare as hard as Hillary for the debates, but he didn't. Trump had every opportunity to sincerely and deeply apologize for things he said in the past, but he didn't. Trump had every opportunity to stay positive and on message instead of attacking everyone he thinks is criticizing him. But he didn't.

Trump has committed blunder after blunder after blunder and we have seen this with our own eyes and his own campaign has confirmed it. If Trump does end up losing it will be because he threw the election away, not because it was rigged.

We need a president who knows how to win. So far all that Trump has proven is that knows how to whine.
