Since 1888, there have been two elections in which the winner lost...


the popular vote: 2000 (W - Bush) and 2016 (W - Trump). Let's start with that, if you lose the popular vote, you're likely going to raise an eyebrow, even given an understanding of the electoral college dynamic. There's at least something to elicit a 'hmmmmmmm'. Yet, after all of the dust settled, the 2000/2016 losers (Gore, Clinton) conceded. Denying/questioning is one thing, refusing to concede after the appropriate bodies have certified and then crying stolen is another, completely other, thing.

Equating the post-election behavior of Gore (who, as VP, had to announce the results) and Clinton ("we owe him (Trump) an open mind") to the unjustified tantrum of Trump just fails, spectacularly.
