America's Greatest Losers make own crowns

In Georgia's 2018 gubernatorial race, Democrat Stacy Abrams received some 55,000 fewer votes than did Republican Brian Kemp. He was duly seated as that state's elected governor.

Abrams had been trounced in front of the entire world, but nevertheless, she persisted. She refused to concede loss on election night. And she still does.

The Daily Caller reported that, on Sunday, the defeated former candidate told the New York Times Magazine she "feels comfortable" saying she actually won -- objective reality be damned -- as she suspects without evidence some shadowy 'vote suppression' machinations had been perpetrated against her.

The concepts of winning and losing no longer have set definitions, any more than do the biological ones of male and female.

Now, Conor McGregor can say he "feels comfortable" saying he won that 2017 Las Vegas bout with Floyd Mayweather.

Now, the Los Angeles Dodgers can say they "feel comfortable" saying they won the 2018 World Series, and that the Boston Red Sox did not.

And now, every kid who flunks a math test can assure his parents he "feels comfortable" saying he passed with flying colors.

But, more seriously...

Abrams' refusal to admit sound defeat is reflective of what seems the Democrat Party's new tactic: Never concede contrary realities, even when the world has already witnessed them.

'Not my president!'

'Barr is Trump's shill! 

'The Mueller Report is fixed!'

By that reckoning, Democrats have already won every future election. Competition is irrelevant. Acknowledging realities is counterproductive to partisan 'progress.'
