Doubting Trump will win doesn't mean not wanting Trump to win.

I see this attitude a lot: If one thinks Trump is unlikely to win, people somehow take it to mean that the poster must not want Trump to win. It's not the same thing at all.
By analogy, a pessimistic sports fan (of LSU, Texas, Bama, or any other team) is no less a fan of his team than an optimist. He certainly isn't rooting for defeat; he wants to win as much as anyone else does. Yet some people think that if someone considers a Trump reelection to be unlikely, that must mean the poster doesn't want Trump to win.

Why would anyone think that?

I have not met a single Trump supporter that doesn't think he wins in a fair election.

Eh, if this is the case, then I would say they suck as a person and are looking for reasons for Trump to lose at this point and discounting the reasons he should or would win...

These folks pretty much suck as a person as well...

Thank Goodness you cleared that up for us unwashed Trumpians.

We need to realize the path to victory is smaller for the Republican than it is for the democrat. The Republican starts out down 90 EC votes, and has to win more battlegrounds to overcome that.
God forbid Texas ever turns blue.
