Donald Trump, trailing narrowly in presidential polls, has issued a warning to worried Republican voters: The election will be rigged against him and he could lose as a result.
Trump pointed to several court cases nationwide in which restrictive laws requiring voters to show identification have been thrown out. He said those decisions open the door to fraud in November.
If the election is rigged, I would not be surprised, he told The Washington Post in an interview Tuesday afternoon. The voter ID situation has turned out to be a very unfair development. We may have people vote 10 times.
Those comments followed a claim Trump made Monday, to an audience in Ohio, that the election is going to be rigged. That same day, in an interview with Fox News Channels Sean Hannity, he beseeched Republicans to start watching closely or the election will be taken away from us through fraud.

And you suggest a "rigging" is necessary to beat you? Again, are you saying this to throw the election or because you are insane and/or stupid?

It sounds like there is a cloud of pessimism descending on Trump Tower.

(2 posts)11. What a sore loser
Trump's delusions of grandeur are a major reason as to why so many view him unfavorably. It's like he has no idea of what the world is outside of his own little bubble. He will learn a hard lesson when he gets trounced by Hillary in November.
