you are the dumb one. lines change, do you understand that?
we made our bet fairly early in the process at going rates. Yet, it is your hubris that makes excuses for your loss by pointing to what the line was in the days immediately preceding the election in order to assuage your butt-hurt feelings of loss.
So, I will return your query: "You couldn't possibly be this dumb or maybe it's just that you're so prideful that you would rather play dumb than to admit you're wrong. Which is it?"
