can you explain your reasoning here?

The context comment makes much more sense, that this is not a conservative win, and Trump is too dumb to realize that that.

Imagine that your place of work, a sizable but far from monopolistic company, suddenly finds itself with twice the clientele. You now service 20% of the market where before you serviced only 10. How might your boss describe that situation? Because mine would call it a win, with very little coaxing.

so if the situation was entirely different, with different aims, one could draw a different conclusion?

I understand that you don’t want to panic about this, and you don’t need to. I have more than enough panic to cover for you. Gotchu, babycakes
