Trumpster Logic: If the debates were rigged, then how did Trump win them so handily?


I can't see the argument for Trump declaring "rigged" and pulling out of the third debate.

In the first one, they gave Hillary a secret radio receiver to whisper answers in her ear (since, obviously, not having any political experience, she wouldn't be able to come up with answers on her own), and they gave him a bad microphone.

But Trump won by at least 120% in most polls, as he points out repeatedly.

In the second one, they all teamed up on him "three against one", and they cut him short at 49:10 minutes speaking time, while giving Hillary a generous 39:05 minutes.

And again, Trump won - they all say he won and he says he won by more than 200% in all the polls.

So, despite rigged contests against him, he keeps coming out the winner. Why would he possibly complain about that now?

Chris Wallace of Fox News! Is Sean Hannity unavailable?

Not to mention at the 2nd debate there was another sniff amplifier mic! You're telling me Trump won't have to worry about that the next time? Ri-i-ight...
