The Worst of Trump Has Yet to Come

https://politicalwire.com/2016/10/11/worst-trump-yet-come/

"SNIP............



The Atlantic: “Herein lies the most potentially devastating effect of Trump’s florid and public propulsion of a ‘rigged system.’ His corps of challengers may very well sow chaos on election day, but the laws allowing them to do so are at least laws—able to be repealed or updated (or kept in place), but at the very least subject to formal legislative governance.”

“Public trust, however—the core of our social compact—is not a matter of legislation: It is a terrible thing to lose, and a difficult thing to regain. And Trump has lately determined that his survival may be contingent its erosion; the last three days, after all, have shown the country how much he’s prepared to risk. It’s a dangerous play for the candidate, but unquestionably, a far more hazardous one for democracy.”

Russian hacker hands are well embedded in our system we already know that.

Blaming the other for what Trump is doing is what he's done all along.

Trump knows his people are rigging the election for him.
Thus he comes out to deflect the blame away from him.
He has been dropping these hints for quite sometime.
Its who he is.
