The real problem with him throwing crap like that out is that some of his base is as unhinged as he is and will believe it.

What does he want them to do when he loses? Take their guns and march on Washington?

One thing we have always had is the concept of "the loyal opposition". The loser invariably calls for unity and accepting the will of the people. I can't see Trump being that gracious, and that would set a very bad precedent.

Please understand that the following statement I am about to make is not based on my pure disgust with Donald Trump, but honestly what I believe. I think the man has very serious mental issues and is starting to have a break down. He is delusional and starting to show signs of cracking.

Here is a man who has no respect for anyone except himself, and I bet he doesn't truly respect himself much either. People who lash out the way he does, and who demean everyone and everything around them, tend to be very insecure and put up that false front to compensate.

I really mean it when I say he is sick and getting sicker.

This latest "rigged election" is so in keeping with his normal mode of operating........everyone is against him and treating him badly. Really a very positive guy, huh ? He knows he is going to lose and he is paving the way to have an excuse.

I have news for you Donald, when you lose it is because of YOU, and YOU ALONE.

Don

Getting his excuses out early.

This is the General Election, Trump doesn't realize he's speaking to College educated voters also.

I think you are very likely right. Now, here is a possibility. He could just keep getting more unhinged until he breaks down on stage and the GOP claims he cannot go forward. Is that when they try to put in another candidate?

GOP, back to the drawing board. Better luck in 2020.

in the meantime, figure out a way to not look like freaks to the rest of the country. Re-consider the #1 item on your platform and ask yourself if this item is TRULY an issue you should be concerned about. https://www.gop.com/platform/renewing-american-values/

if the answer is yes, get used to Dems wining every 4 yrs.

That is his reason for when he loses. Nothing is ever his fault.

If it is rigged, then it is a Republican game. All electronic voting machine used are made by companies owned by party donating Republicans. Most of the states are run by Republicans. Any voter fraud is on them.

Karl Rove has been out of sight. What's he doing? Getting into the counting machines from miles away is his trick.

If the Democrats are morally capable of stealing the nomination from Bernie, they can certainly steal the election from Trump.

The end result of this will be that if he loses, a large portion of the electorate will think we have an illegitimate government. That is a very dangerous place for a democracy to be. Trump fails Civics 101.
