As we mentioned earlier, some of us played collegiate hockey and there was this sort of thing where you’d fight to the death like literally want to shove your stick in a guy’s face and be so angry, and then after the game, win or lose, you shook hands and sort of joked about it.

That’s because when you lose (or win) you do it like a man, or a woman because adult women do it the exact same way. You face defeat with dignity, like George H.W. Bush did, like John McCain did, like Hillary Clinton did.

You don’t piss and whine, scream, point in every direction, come up with a new theory every ten minutes, complain that the whole world is against you. That’s not how this is supposed to work. The President of the United States is supposed to be a real man, or real woman, tough, but fair, someone able to win graciously, or lose graciously, but be serious and respected at every point.

Because this is the person who when he or she lands in Delhi, or Paris, or Ottawa, represents the entire United States. And we don’t want to be represented by a whiny little b**** when that person gets there.

That’s why Jim Acosta’s question was perfectly valid. Some might say it was gratuitous. Just to get clicks. WRONG. It is a critical question. It is critical to our future as a democracy and critical to our future as a nation. Are you being a sore loser, willing to punt U.S. law aside for your own gain, willing to piss all over U.S. legitimacy all for your own good? It’s a legitimate question.

Not to Trump, he just ignored it and walked out. He can’t take it:

We will take that as a yes.

Peace, y’all
