Trump lashes out at Republicans for not buying election rigging line

Source: Politico

Donald Trump on Monday morning lashed out at Republican leaders, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, who have pushed back against the Republican nominee’s message that the election is being rigged against him.

Donald J. Trump ?@realDonaldTrump 1 hour ago
Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!


He followed up with a unity message for the deeply fractured Republican Party, saying, “We have all got to come together and win this election. We can't have four more years of Obama (or worse!).”

Trump’s campaign has been thrown into a tailspin by the release of a 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape in which the billionaire cavalierly talks cavalierly about being able to get away with sexual assault and the subsequent march of females who have accused him of groping them.

I have very mixed emotions going into the 3rd and final debate.

Part of me wants to see Trump's unhinged rhetoric exposed for the fact-free demagoguery it is. I'm curious to see how the moderators do their job and how Trump reacts.

But deep down I wish the debate was cancelled. To begin with, I think the format and the questions are closer to a reality TV spectacle than to a rationale debate designed to better inform the public. But most of all, what has been on display in these debates is a national disgrace.

Problem is, he's the one rigging it.....to lose! Why would any candidate put down women, Mexicans, people with disabilities, and people of foreign origin? Only one reason I can think of....he wants to lose. Oh, he's got a plan, and you can bet yo ass he'll make money off of it, too. I think he was hoping to be bought off by the GOP to drop out. That way he games the system, just like he always does.

He thinks the 99.9% white rallies he's been holding are representative of the rest of America. And, I think the people around him are afraid to tell him otherwise.

empire crumble. He will only pocket what he has been pilfering from campaign donations.

He did not plan this. He did not see it coming. Narcissists do not even consider losing.

I don't know why people keep pushing this idea.

But, you're right, the ass is such a narcissist, he probably thinks he will win, but virtually everyone else doesn't. If he can come out ahead monetarily somehow, he can call it a win.....which is why I said that.

how terrible he would be at it. He likes the idea that it's a powerful, prominent position.

because there is 0 evidence that there is any sort of large scale voter fraud. Only a small handful of cases (around 30?) out of over a billion votes cast since 2000.

Why should the GOP peddle your trash. They are only concerned about the down ballot seats now. How are they going to claim the election is rigged if they manage to maintain seats in Congress.

Russia is hacking and altering US emails to help you! Funny they had the Wikkileaks docs before Wikkileaks published them, how is that? You are the one rigging the election, just like you are the one with the "speed" problem. You know that it gets out of your system within 24 hrs or you wouldn't be asking for the drug test. You are so stupid you believe your own lies and are probably looking for other legally prescribed drugs to claim she's unfit. Liar and big loser!!
