Clinton Eugene Curtis testified under oath in front of the U.S. House Judiciary Members in Ohio, regarding schemes to fraudulently program electronic voting machines to rig votes...

Convenient logic= if Trump doesnt win the elections are rigged. the opposite logic i suppose being if Trump does win then it was a fair election.

He knows he is losing. It can't possibly be his fault. He is the greatest, bestest, smartest ever. He hires only the bestest ever people. Losing in such a YUUUGE way can only mean it's rigged. It's certainly not the great pumpkin's fault. Lol.

No, I don't have to admit any such thing. And I won't, because I don't think that's what happening.

I think what's happening is that a demagogue has sucked in a bunch of people. But fortunately, it looks as if he's too incompetent at real-life leadership to carry through on his threats.

All those registered Rs voting for him? They just love him, he didn't steal anything from anyone. They had a lot of choices, and they chose Trump.

And Clinton was always going to run for president again, and she was always going to have a shot at winning. Although I grant you, Trump is a darn good target.

How easily Trump dispensed with his 19 other Republican rivals makes me wonder if he hasnt been doing some rigging on his own.

From many months ago a person close to Trump said he was out to prove a point. His point might be that a non politician can succeed.
As we know Trump said if he loses then it was all a waste of time. He spent very little of his own money on his rally campaign style.
The system is rigged could be a way to set up a withdrawal so he can avoid losing the election. Of course he wants to win but when it is obvious he can not he may jump ship and say it was rigged and he no longer wants any part of it, I (Trump) knew it was rigged, now the world knows, I'm walking. Then you might have Clinton vs. some unknown GOP candidate to take her on.

The ONLY explanation I can come up with is that he knows, and has known for a long time, that he is not up for the job, doesn't want the job, and if he gets it, he will be exposed for the phony that he is. He's too far in to back out, so his only way to save face now is to blow the election, and then he can play the victim card, like he does all the time, about how the system is rigged, and he got shafted. His swan-song will be an attempt to rally his blind supporters to unleash civil-unrest, and his perverted, socio-pathetic self will get the ego stroke his empty soul needs.

It's the only thing that makes sense.

Why on earth would he attack the parents of a hero who died in battle? Tell Ryan he's not supporting him? Insist Russia had not invaded the Ukraine?

It's beyond madness.

But if you see it as a PR stunt, it makes perfect sense. He now has a band of die-hard followers, who get their information from Brietbart, and who will haul out their credit cards for Trump steaks, Trump seminars on getting rich in real estate...

Getting his excuses out early.
Sounds like he's full of excuses.
