After he won the New Hampshire Republican primary Tuesday night, former President Donald Trump complained about his main GOP rival, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, about immigration, inflation, and his likely opponent in November, President Joe Biden.

One thing he didn’t complain about: Voter fraud in the election he had just won.

That continues a pattern for Trump as he steamrolls through the GOP presidential primary and toward an increasingly likely November rematch with Biden. While Trump generally refrains from claiming voter fraud in elections he wins, he spends plenty of time laying the groundwork to cry fraud should he lose an upcoming vote. He’s already been doing that with an eye toward November’s general election.

“They used COVID to cheat. And they did a lot of other things, too. We’re not going to let that happen,” Trump said of Democrats in his Tuesday night speech to supporters in New Hampshire. “You can never forget history, because if you forget, you never, you never recover from it. And you repeat.”

    I feel it is a close second to people generally backing the fuck off in public places.

      early in the pandemic, i was going into walmart becuase there was something I couldn’t find elsewhere and was sick of giving amazon money. any how, it was like 60 degrees. a beautiful day, I’m walking in without a jacket and some old boomer-type starts harranging me about how I’m going to catch a cold if i don’t put on a coat.

      So I apologized and faked a sneeze. She practically fled. and I swear that was the fastest I’ve ever gotten in and out of a walmart before. as an introvert… there were some positives to the pandemic.
