Discussion: Trump Rails Against Media For Blowing Up His 'Rigged' Election Remark

. . . on both November 8 and November 9 as he advised.

I’m not sure why Trump is in favor of voter ID laws. His only chance is having people vote 10-15 times for him.

On the other hand, there are lots of non-whites who are voting, and the word on the street is that they’re not voting for Republicans. So there’s that.

I think it is time for the DNC to gather together a compilation of '“Trump’s Greatest Hits” in a series of 30 second spots with the tag line… “The surest way to stop this man is at the polls. Do your country a favor and vote STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC this election day!”

The sun rises; Trump rails.

So, what you’re trying to tell us is to invest in manufacturers of cheap costume wigs and clip on mustaches?

Unfortunately he has 8 years of GWB and 14 million primary voters that prove that many are, indeed, that stupid. Actually I should say misled instead of stupid. Voting Trump, and republican in general, really is logical to those that believe Fox is the only credible, fair and balanced source of news.

Edited due to tendency to use the word “actually” far too often.

The Blacks really love me. Believe me, believe me.

Has it occurred to anyone else that Donald Trump doesn’t actually know how voting works? Or that the average voter doesn’t have lawyers on retainer to keep them out of felony convictions?

Doesn’t say here if NPD include threats of violence and encouraging it including the cries of “throw him out” because he’s an ace at it.

“If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously.”

“I’d like to punch him [a protester] in the face.”

Protests were less common “in the good old days,” because “they used to treat them very, very rough. And when they protested once, you know, they would not do it again so easily.”

Mr. Trump said he might make good on his offer of legal help to a man accused of punching a protester: “I’ve actually instructed my people to look into it, yes.

Trump’s campaign manager:

Yea that’s why the SS had to talk to his staff about it

He has a few loose screws, but he isn’t dumb, he’s playing by the Republican playbook. You never have to take responsibility for anything. Misquoted. Blame the liberal media. Tell a lie and get caught. Blame the liberal media. Didn’t like the question. Blame the liberal media. Why take the blame for anything when life is so much easier being a whiny victim? The base laps this crap up.

jte · August 10, 2016, 9:25pm

“…those folks,” eh? Didn’t need to elaborate on what he meant there, did he? Oh, and Trump also just confirmed that yes, the voter id law in North Carolina was expressly aimed at keeping “those people” from voting. Nice to have that out in the open now.

sniffit · August 10, 2016, 9:25pm

It’s funny, because the NC case is apparently as bad as it can get in terms of proving that the Voter ID law was the real attempt to “rig” the election. As I understand it, the GOP-controlled legislature had all sorts of research done about what IDs were out there AND WHO WAS USING THEM AND WHERE. They then proceeded to exclude all the “brown people IDs” from the list of acceptable IDs, which is why the court went so far as to find that the disparate impact was actually intentional, not just coincidental and/or the result of not paying enough attention to the interests of those communities, etc. They paid rapt attention to those interests…and then deliberately tried to thwart the communities’ ability to further them. But hey, who said facts matter anymore? They clearly don’t and haven’t for a very long time.

centralasiaexpat · August 10, 2016, 9:26pm

We’ve seen this tactic before. Trump deflects from one dumpster fire he just created by pointing at another of his dumpster fires from a few days ago–“You see, they’re accusing me of starting Sunday’s dumpster fire! Can you believe it??”

suicide_arsonist · August 10, 2016, 9:26pm

Have a problem with this, stop runnin’ your mouth

victorabrahamsen · August 10, 2016, 9:26pm

“You know, I’ve been talking about the rigged system for a long time…”

Yes, you have. But we’re not in the primaries anymore, no matter how many times you try to relive those heady days with your supporters during your stump speeches.

You can try to work the refs as much as you want, but in this round, electoral math matters, not your whinging.

You’re staring down the barrel of an Electoral College landslide - and as Sen Warren said, you’re going to lose to a girl.

You’ve picked the event I most like to watch. I’m in awe of what these young men and young women can do with their limbs. Preceded by six of hours of practice every day since they were 14 years old. Maybe the lifeguard will be on a break when he goes under.
