Trump to supporters: 'Go out and watch' on Election Day

Source: The Hill

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Monday urged the crowd gathered at his rally to both vote and "watch" when the general election comes around.

"You've got to get every one of your friends. You've got to get every one of your family. You've got to get everybody to go out and watch. And go out and vote," Trump said at the end of a rally Monday in Akron, Ohio.

"And when I say watch, you know what I'm talking about, right? You know what I'm taking about. I think you got to go out and you got to watch."

The Republican nominee has in the past said he's afraid the general election is going to be "rigged."

2. I am really beginning to believe that Trump wants to destroy the country.

He is inciting violence and, at the same time, tearing down the fundamental trust that this country is built on. According to Trump, we can't trust elections, we can't trust Democrats, we can't trust anything we read or see on television. The person he is running against is a liar, a crook, and a murderer. She is also brain damaged, ill, mentally ill, and dying.

The only thing we can trust is Trump.

And an awful lot of people are buying it. Yeah, Hillary is way ahead in the polls. But population-wise, somewhere between 35-40% of the population seem to believe him. And that is a scary number.

4. He knows that he is going to lose, he is just setting the stage for his excuse for losing

After the elections he is going to proclaim that he actually won, but that somehow the election was rigged. He will point to his huge rallies, his intellect, to say there is no way I could have lost except for a rigged election. People just got back in line and revoted and revoted and revoted. Like the clerks are not going to recognize you after your second vote. Maybe we should dye the thumbs like they do in third world elections to prevent such things.
