As near as I can tell, Trump's comments about a rigged election are aimed largely at the media. The media is definitely rigging the election. They are non-stop bashing of Trump. The very few negative stories they put out about Clinton and brief and buried. But B.A.D. Trump is 24/7.
It's ridiculous. I'd vote for Trump just to see the media get theirs. They deserve to get taken down, shuffled, and reorganized. They have ZERO business inserting personal opinion or snarky smirks. It's ugly.
My vote goes to Trump.
Actually, Trump is to blame for most of the negative media. He just can't keep his mouth shut or stop twittering.
Rigging elections can be more subtle and indirect. Like the DNC actively undermining Bernie. Or the way the media spends HOURS talking about Trump's gross talk but only MINUTES (if that) on the horrendous things disclosed by the Wikileaks emails about Hillary. Or having the Ex President meet with the Attorney General to "convince" her to kill the Hillary investigation. It all adds up in the end.
Although I agree that the media has an influence on voters, the media also gave Trump the nomination. Every time I turned on the TV last year, Trump was the headline story. He can't have it both ways.
Anyway, I wouldn't call what you describe "rigging." Yes, the news does have an effect on people, but think of why most voters even know his name. He promoted himself by using the same media he is now condemning. After all, he loves attention and he's getting it.
There is no question the election is being rigged.
When we take all the evidence together, the suppression of any negative reporting on Hillary (including the downplaying or outright ignoring what's revealed in her emails), the planting of violent protesters at Trump rallies, the fabricating of stories of "inappropriate" sexual advances by Hillary operatives (this is an old and favorite tactic of Democrats). Then there's the collusion of the Justice Department, the State Department, the President, and the FBI, to ensure that Hillary is not prosecuted for her crimes (her mishandling of classified information is a crime), and the obvious "pay for play" scheme involving the Clinton Foundation.
No person, if they are being honest, can deny there is a conspiracy to get Hillary elected, whatever it takes, and whatever the cost.
The Democrats have made our electoral process like that of a third world dictatorship.
Odd how they werent rigged to deny Trump becoming the Republican nominee for president over a substantial field of other candidates.
Something very juvenile in Trump now saying the election is rigged if he doesnt win.
Donald the election isnt rigged theres just a lot of American voters who arent buying your bs and are voting for some one else, its the way the democratic system works.
Said it before and will say it again & again & again until election. Trump and his false stance on a rigged election goes against the core of the American philosophy of democracy. He is anti-American and his RWNJ core is following him down that same road.
All Americans who love our nation and believe it's not a "disaster" need to get out and vote in droves. Donald Trump demonstrates how fragile democracy and freedom can be if the wrong leader(s) is elected. And, keep in mind, it was the irresponsiblity of the Republican Party that let the orange wolf in the room. Remember the down ballot.
Because Trump is racist who claimed his political base by slandering the President about not being born in Hawaii, he was pretty riled when Obama was elected for second time...
He had the same rant then--he just wasn't leading the Republican ticket
I just see this country turning into the American version of Romeo and Juliet where Republicans and Democrates and the fervent alt-right faction identify themselves by their "house" colors and "from ancient grudge break to new mutiny...where civil blood makes civil hands unclean"...
The Democrats have made our electoral process like that of a third world dictatorship.
The past 15 years of the Republican Party is rife with overt and covert acts of voter suppression.
The gutting of the Civil Rights Act in 2013 under the laughable excuse there were no more attempts to restrict voting was laughable...but it served theRepublican Party well, especially the very conservative section, because it helped them gerrymander districts to dilute Democratic areas into safe Republican ones, it helped Republican legislatures design voter registration laws and election periods that prevented or at least severely hampered eligible, legally-entitled citizens who the Republicans viewd as likely Democratic from voting...
You won't agree with that assessment but the news media--totally biased of course in your mind for the Democrats--are full of those stories...
Case in point:
the Wisconsin Supreme Court which is Republican majority filed a motion to its own decision about the new voter ID law requiring the state to prove that it was following the Court's decision to implement a more fair and equitable process...which the state has not done because the Republicans running the government don't want to,lose power...they have been so corrupt that if they are not in power to cover their backsides, they are going to jail.
In Indiana, Mike Pence is being accused of voter suppression by organizing a raid by State Police on a voting headquarters and having the police remove what might be as many as 45K--45 thousand!! registrations plus computers and other "evidence" of voter fraud...which does not really exist in the US...except,in the paranoia of Republicans...numerous unbiased studies have shown that the number of validated voter fraud incidents are miniscular (very, very, very tiny) in the total vote process...
Voter supression is the name of the game for Republicans...and that should be smacked to the gutter.

VOTE!
Well said. I find it odd that Donald John Trump, apparently seeking to divert attention away from the issue of how he treats women (or how he thinks about them), believes that the way to do so is to describe our American election process (our national pride for 200+ years) as being 'rigged' against him.
It is the thinking of a demagogue. The definition of 'demagogue':
"A political leader who tries to get support by making false claims and promises and using arguments based on emotion rather than reason".
Synonyms for the word 'demagogue' includes: rabble-rouser, political agitator, and firebrand.
It is not by coincidence that Mr. Trump's primary demographic is the 'low educated', or the people he said he loves best. I recognize that he will get votes from other demographics, but all polling indicates that the lower educated are his biggest base.
To be fair, I imagine that many of Mr. Trump's supporters wish that he would cease talking about how the election is being 'rigged', by whatever method. It is not inconsistent for supporters of Mr. Trump to also take pride in our election process, long the envy of the world.
We watched what was done to Sanders. I prefer to make my own decisions on what I actually see happen. Hillary has "baggage". Anyone that doesn't see what is going on is blinded by the evil rays that shoot from her bulging eyes.

Trump's Claim That Election is "Rigged" are "Ridiculous"
