Maybe the Republicans can learn a lesson from the Democrats and others, like Liz Cheney, on how to lose with dignity and grace and, not like the MAGA crowd, go into a meltdown just because they lost an election, and then excuse the loss by discrediting the electoral system.

The idea that if I win, it’s fair; if I lose, it’s rigged, is as un-American as anything I can think of. Imagine if a football team lost the Super Bowl and blamed the loss on the fans, or the weather, or bad calls. Who would accept that? So, now it’s the Republicans turn to see if they can do a better job at governing than the Biden administration.
