"You know, go out there and try to win the election," Obama said. "If Mr. Trump is up 10 or 15 points on election day and ends up losing, then maybe he can raise some questions. That doesn't seem to be the case at the moment."
The fix is already in...
Any one else sees this as troubling...
Obama is unabashedly partisan. Hyper-partisan,really, for someone who is sitting in the Oval Office.
But, but, but he said he would be pResident of ALL Americans.....did he LIE? /s
I see BO out there pushing Hillary like all the republicans who are defecting, like Fox News dumping ailes, like khan, McCain, Ryan, the NYT, Imus all fearing an implosion and Trump not feeling one bit of wimp ones over his participation in it and his supporters rallying sick to death of apologizing for wanting America to be rid of the corruption
Free wimp ones is wimpiness. Sick to death of wimpiness.
Which, btw, started with HW
Obama: “If it isn’t close then we can’t get away with election fraud.”
Crucial point post!
Bass turd Obola mobiliz’in corrupt precinct captain, The Chicago Way.
And to think, the RNC has a long standing fool’s agreement forbidding advocating serious investigation and prosecution of voting fraud.
Tagline more applicable then ever...
RE: “In other words, if Trump is up by single digits and loses, nothing to see here. That according to Obama, rigged elections only can happen when a candidate is up by 10 to 15 in the poles and then loses on election day.

I believe I read some time ago the voting machines can trip 15% of the vote. Of course, anywhere that doesn’t have those machines can change as many as they want I guess.
I do believe our hope is a major landslide election.
The president addressed Trump’s comments Thursday at a White House briefing. Trump said this week that elections are rigged after several states repealed laws that restricted the types of voter IDs that would be widely accepted at polling stations.President Obama RIPS Trump “Of Course The Elections Not Going To Be Rigged”
Soapbox, ballotbox, bullet box. These evil SOBs better think very very hard before they give people the idea that elections are rigged.
To lose with a poll lead of 10%+, especially as a Republican would be automatically suspicious. Obama is playing the expectations game with the message that any lead less than 10% is up for grabs. The Democrat game plan always figures that a loss of 5% or so is winnable by manipulation. The DNC does nothing, it is all done by the local ‘big city’ machines, they hold back their results until the county and suburban votes are in, then they ‘tweak’ their counts just enough.
If it is close by November, expect to see reports of slashed tires, GOP Poll Watchers threatened and forced to leave. The game is afoot and the Democrats loathe to lose!
In 2012 Romney was ahead in all swing states and ended up losing.
By Obama’s current definition, is that voter fraud?
As president, Obama should even engage a candidate in this sort of rhetorical dialog. All he’s doing is elevating the issue, and giving credibility to Trumps claims of a Cheating System. Let your candidate talk back directly to our candidate, or allow them to use their surrogates.
In this instance, Trump knows exactly what he’s doing, by baiting Obama’s vanity. Trump throws his baited line into the water, and Obama keeps jumping out of the water chomping down hard on each distracting lure. That part is entertaining to watch.
When the puppeteer (Obama) becomes the dummy being strung along.
It could be a tell — probably what it refers to is some kind of internal discussion of what sort of Trump lead could be overcome by a combination of fraud and electoral college strategy. It tells me that the DNC think they can win from a ten point deficit in popular opinion.
As to the president’s statements about voter fraud allegations being ridiculous, that in itself is ridiculous and the media’s failure to press harder on this issue shows complicity.

"I'm so sick of hearing about all these dead people voting and about my friends voting multiple times. But it'll only matter if Trump loses a double digit lead on the last day. So stop whining about it."
NOBODY EVER saw the crowds at Romney rallies that Trump has at his!!!!
Why do you think Trump is saying it’s rigged. JMHO that he KNOWS it’s rigged and the system is too big for a billionaire to defeat. The same thing happened to Perot.
Romney still had much bigger rallies than Obama. (And I don’t like Romney, that’s just how I remember it.)
