CNN: Why Trump's talk of a rigged vote is so dangerous

Donald Trump is playing with fire.

The Republican presidential nominee's claim that the election is being rigged against him represents the most outlandish moment yet in a campaign devoted to dismantling political norms.

Should he lose, it threatens the legitimacy of those left to govern after the most anarchic election in modern history.

[Snip]

His accusations alone, experts say, could inflict long-standing damage on the US political system itself by eroding trust in the probity of the electoral process.

Because you can’t let the marks know the game is rigged?

Sure you can!!

If it's the only game in town!

Project Veritas may cause CNN and the rest of these low-life scumbags to regret their deeds and words!

Dear CNN: If the Democrats in Florida had managed to get 2 or 3 more cemeteries to come out for Al Gore back in 2000, he would have been President.

Go F**K yourselves.

You left out the gop. They’re just as guilty since they will look you in the eye and say “No one rigged an election. It was fair and square and we lost.”

That’s why on election day I’ll vote for Trump and against every other republican. As far as I’m concerned anyone who still places an “r” after his name is a democrat butt boy who is afraid to stand up and be counted. Well, I will make sure he won’t have one of my votes to count.

The real “rigging” of elections by these LIB - CRIMINALS is what is dangerous. CNN is part of that problem.

His accusations alone, experts say, could inflict long-standing damage on the US political system itself by eroding trust in the probity of the electoral process.

1) Since the left are the cheaters, trust in the process only benefits leftist scum. Why should Trump worry about that?

2) If he's right, the only way it's going to get fixed is to admit there's a problem. Is there some reason we can't argue the issue on its merits? Oh yeah, CNN has a vested interest in the status quo.
