(from ZeroHedge not NBC) Trump: "I am afraid this election is going to be rigged"

This is a totally different article than the FR posted NBC article. Both articles refer to the Trump quote, but this one, I believe, is far more significant.

Following Trump confidant Roger Stone's allegation that Hillary Clinton might "steal this election" using the Supreme Court, and the Reuters' poll "tweaks" which sent her to a 7-point lead, Donald Trump is raising the alarm that he "is afraid the election is going to be rigged."

Just last week, before the Reuters polls were 'tweaked', Stone told Milo Yiannopoulous of Breitbart that if there is an "illegitimate" election, then there will be "widespread civil disobedience" and "it will be a bloodbath."

"I think your audience knows, I think we all know, that in this day and age, a computer can do anything. These voter machines are essentially a computer. Who is to say they could not be rigged?"

“I think we have widespread voter fraud, but the first thing that Trump needs to do is begin talking about it constantly," Stone said.

"He needs to say for example, today would be a perfect example: "I am leading in Florida. The polls all show it. If I lose Florida, we will know that there’s voter fraud. If there's voter fraud, this election will be illegitimate, the election of the winner will be illegitimate, we will have a constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government will no longer be the government."

“So, I mean the dream here, the ultimate ideal is that he wins by such a significant margin nationally that this is unnecessary,” Yiannopoulos concluded. “But it’s interesting to hear you say this, and it’s funny also, because Trump will go there. He will go to the places other politicians wont, and he’s probably the only person to run for president within the last fifty years who would dare to do this, and might even get away with it. It’s remarkable isn’t it how he’s just sort of re-injected reality into politics”. And now Donald Trump, speaking today in Columbus, Ohio, raised the concern of a rigged election directly... "Bernie shouldn't have made a deal but he lost [because] it's rigged... and I am afraid the [national] election is going to be rigged."

"I think my side was rigged. If I didn't win by massive landslides, think about what we won in New York, Indiana, California, 78 percent, that's with other people in the race." Trump made similar complaints about a “rigged” process during the Republican primaries. As Roger Stone concluded,

"If you can’t have an honest election, nothing else counts," Warning that...

"I think he’s gotta put them on notice that their inauguration will be rhetorical, and when I mean civil disobedience, not violence, but it will be a bloodbath. The government will be shut down if they attempt to steal this and swear Hillary in. No, we will not stand for it. We will not stand for it." Just in case you thought things could not get any more obvious among the riggers, does this look 'normal'?

July 25: Trump was at 48%, Clinton at 45% in CNN/ORC poll.

Today: Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump 52% to 43% in CNN/ORC poll. Perhaps the biggest swing in a week in US election history?

I agree... The American people will not lie down on this one. Trump supporters, Bernie Sanders supporters, Military, and coal miners will all get furiously enraged.

Pure, unadulterated BS by CNN. Fed up with this sh**. Rigged polls, biased news reporting, and the biggest traitor and crook in American history bring propped up for the presidency. Right now I’m pissed not discouraged. Sorry MSM we’re not letting you steal this election. Time to stop lying down and time to fight back!

It was rigged the minute Trump got 5 times more coverage than the next leading candidate. They buttered him up in the primaries only to tear him apart in the general. This is a redux of Mccain all over again. If you thought otherwise LOL than you haven’t figured anything out.

I get all of my news from FR..I dont even watch Fox News anymore, other than Sean Hannity and sometimes Greta, I have known for the longest time the media in the United States is dead, even North Korean news is more reliable, at least they are honest about their agenda

Who’s to say that there WON’T be a bloodbath with ACTUAL BLOOD—with a stolen election?

Lock and load, boys and girls.

If Trump supporters (yes, his supporters) can beat 16 opponents (including Cruz and the dirty Cruzers) and the Establishment, we can beat Hillary.

She barely even cheated Bernie, the Socialist, out of his lead.

If fact, she might not even last til election day.

*cough* *cough*

Don’t worry. DOJ/FBI will ensure the integrity of the election.

Before the election, Trump has to have a database of every precinct in the country. Then he has to have a database of every address in the country. Then he needs to buy the datasets of people from Intelius and or Zabasearch. Merge all and see what pops up. Also get the Social Security death index. Make sure that if you are on the ssdi, you aren’t registered to vote. Get poll watchers in place in the precincts with abnormal turnout. As to the vote side, se if there is a way to demand a paper trail through the court system of the states. If the integrity check of the machines fails, ask for an order for paper ballots. All machine only precincts have paper ballots in case of a power outage or hard drive crash. I saw foolishness close up in June, only remedied by the fact that our Republican Citycouncilwoman lives in my precinct. Not everyone is so lucky.

Go to the Trump website and provide your comments and suggestions for combating voter fraud. You can also provide information on any voter fraud you’ve witnessed in the past and how to combat it. Perhaps the Trump campaign needs an anti-voter fraud department?

I have heard that line so many times. I have paid close attention to the media since Trump got in, and he has been ridiculed and attacked from day one. Pundits would get in a circle each Sunday to snicker and try to guess when he was finished.

I was a Cruz supporter to the end, but Trump is NOT McCain. Trump has not been compromised in the way McCain has been, and his political instincts have been exceptional. If the Clintonistas were in control, Trump would be down by 10 or more. More likely control would have been exercised to get a Jeb Bush (win either way), and Heaven knows they tried. A knowledgeable friend of mine likens Trump to a Berlusconi type figure. Berlusconi did get in, but was eventually hounded out. Stakes are considerable higher here, and the media are being more obviously, exchanging long-term credibility for short term gains.

Only with republicans. This time however, Trump has to go the left caused he burned all his bridges on the right. More and more people will not vote for a nominee because they have an R after their name. I wonder if Conservatives despise more, the RNC or Trump.
