Mike Pence said Sunday that Republicans would accept the results of the presidential election and that Donald Trump’s claims that the race has been rigged referred to a biased news media and not elections officials.

But within hours of Pence’s comments, Trump took to Twitter to partly disagree with his running mate, as he has several times in recent days.

Trump wrote, without providing any evidence, that “many polling places” were trying to tilt the Nov. 8 election to his opponent, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

“The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary - but also at many polling places – SAD,” Trump tweeted.

[Thinkingabout]

1. Trump is trying to maintain his voter base to prevent a total washout.

[Third Doctor]

2. That's not what Trump meant at all.

Trump was saying that both the media and election officials of both parties are fixing the election against him. He is a paranoid, narcissistic whiner

3. will Pence

be the one to give Clinton the concession call?

4. How do you know it is rigged if nobody has ..

.. voted yet?

Seems presumptuous.

5. Trump Is Setting The Stage for Refusing To Concede...

...he is going to argue that he is the real winner, and the real President in absentia. Perhaps he will set himself up as the President in exile from Russia.

6. Trump is big time lying to his supporters!

8. The only election rigging is coming from Trump himself

I think Trump is afraid he might be elected President, and is sabotaging his own campaign to loose.

9. Trump wants to scare Dems from voting, or cause riots preventing voting.

He wants armed assholes hasselling all minorities and even possibly white women and causing riots so polling places have to be shut down. If so, Obama should declare a national emergency, have voting resume the next day with National Guard inside and out and no guns allowed and no challenges allowed by outsiders or immediate arrest. In other words, he will steal the election so he can rake in the russian money he so desperately desires. OK, this is worst case and paranoid, but given the assface involved, wouldn't be surprised. Hope this is
