Trump Tells Hannity The November Election Is 'Going To Be Rigged'

[UCmeNdc]

Donald Trump was interviewed by Sean Hannity on Fox News, August, 1st and he once again gave a hackneyed explanation on how the upcoming general election in November is going to be rigged against him.

Hannity asked, "You're afraid this election is going to be rigged, explain?"


Snip........

It's gibberish and balderdash.

As Josh Marshall correctly surmises in his piece Feel The State Tremble:

Over the last 48 hours Trump's allies, surrogates and now Trump himself have forcibly injected the topic of voter fraud or 'election rigging' into the election.

--

Whether Trump is starting to lay the groundwork for contesting the election on claims of widespread voter impersonation fraud or some kind of broader effort for election officials to falsify results, we're entering a dangerous new phase of the 2016 election campaign.

4. If anything, trumps rigging it so hillary wins..

I know he loves the sound of his own voice, but does he understand the moronic words coming out of his own mouth?

5. Forcing another supreme Court decision to appoint the next president?

Is that their endgame?

7. Maybe all the rumors of election rigging will get more people interested in election reform. That

would be a silver lining, at least. (Under Hillary, tho, not Trump.)

8. Pre-justification and a set-up for sending it to the USSC.

9. Just heard this morning....

That Trump still has virtually no staff in many states. One GOP operative recently said he was asked by Trump to "lead" a state he had no operational knowledge of and which had no staff. I guess going against a prepared candidate constitutes a "rigged" election to Don the Con.
