I would suspect the Trumpettes are rationalizing the bitter loss, convincing themselves he's setting them up for a REAL win.Trump's numbers have slightly improved since he caved.
In chess, that's something akin to the Queen's Gambit. "Yes, I may have just lost my queen, but that was only to set you up for checkmate."
It's the argument that Sean Hannity is reputedly making right now, much to Ann Coulter's consternation.
But something has to actually CHANGE in the Queen's Gambit. It's not a gambit to get up and walk away from the board for thirty five turns, then whining that the other guy won't let you Castle because you haven't moved your knights...
