U.S. President Barack Obama urged Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to "stop whining" about the Nov. 8 election being rigged, saying no serious person could suggest U.S. elections could be manipulated because of their decentralized nature.

"I have never seen in my lifetime, or in modern political history, any presidential candidate trying to discredit the elections and the election process before votes have even taken place. It's unprecedented," the Democratic president said.

"I have never seen in my lifetime, or in modern political history, any presidential candidate trying to discredit the elections and the election process before votes have even taken place. It's unprecedented," the Democratic president said.

Does that mean I can keep my doctor if I want under your plan after all? If not, shut up. Nobody cares what a liar says.

Someone should inform the Halfrican that he is back on the plantation.

Massa illary gives him his step-n fetch-n orders.

The pot calling the kettle black. Sorry for my being politically incorrect.

obviously, USA elections aren’t rigged

if they were ‘rigged’ to conform with the Constitution, we’d have been 1000 times better off at least since 2009.

Holy crap, it took 5 “journalists” to write this?

[9YearLurker]

Yes, because they are used to the Republicans just rolling over and taking it.

We have at least 65 years of overwhelmingly one-sided cheating at this point.

[NorthMountain]

Pretty much confirms that the demonicRATs are engaged in massive, industrial scale electoral fraud ...

I believe this is what Trump was really after by bringing up the “rigging” of the election. Once Trump wins, Obama and the Democrats won’t be able to contest the outcome.

Trump is working three steps ahead of them.

I have never seen an ineligible usurper being given the office of President before.

Someone needs to tell him to stop stuttering when he is not reading from a teleprompter.

[daler]

In the wake of all these faux polls showing Hillary with a double-digit lead,
you know exactly what the Dems will be screaming if Trump pulls this out.

[Buckeye McFrog]

...until 24 hrs. after a Trump victory, when Obama and the Dems won’t STOP claiming it was rigged.

And the reason 0bama is bringing in all the UN and European election monitors is......

I like Rush’s retort to this

Really?..not rigged.. ask Bernie Sanders...the whole Dem primary was rigged from the get-go for Hillary

Do you think any Bernie supporter can say they lost fair and square

[NohSpinZone]

FUBO. I’m counting the seconds before you and your fat-ass wife are lawfully removed from office.

[Brilliant]

Stop whining about it? You mean get with the program?

[Ohioan]

That, of course, is why the Administration attacks local laws that require proof of identification, before voting.

[TakebackGOP]

Trump gets under Obama’s skin.

Rush just mentioned the ‘rigging’ that the DNC and Debbie Wasserman-Shultz did against Bernie Sanders.
